apaul - what a load of rubbish. The pound has risen recently against both the dollar and euro. Also if your an overseas family looking for example coming to Europe on holiday are the four of you going to go to Paris or London and pay APD. You are of course going to go to France and save a fortune. Your argument just does not stand scrutiny, me thinks its time you renew your tory party membership.
Hang on we must be getting plenty of revenue from the Camerons as good old Dave has had 5 holidays this year while most hard working families struggle to have one. Perhaps thats the plan behind APD keep the airports empty so Tory ministers can have them all to themselves - get a grip!!!
