Yes, but suppose it was four of you travelling in which case the APD is £48 or that you were going to the States in which case the APD would be £240 for the four of you?

If Wales and Scotland get devolution powers they will use it to undermine English airports and it raise very serious issues about the United Kingdom. The best solution for this Government would be to recognise now that APD is a tax which has had its day and that it is costing jobs and UK competitiveness in the world market and it should go. The revenue foregone can be replaced, in part, by ETS and taxes from greater economic activity and lower unemployment benefits. APD is potentially a "poll tax on wings" and if I were in Government I would be worried, very worried.
