Reclaiming air passenger duty is too taxing, says Which? Holiday

Reclaiming air passenger duty is too taxing, says Which? Holiday

With the amount of Air Passenger Duty (APD) levied on travellers increasing* on Monday 2 November, Which? Holiday is calling for airlines to make it easier for passengers to claim back APD on unused flights.

Rochelle Turner, Head of Research for Which? Holiday says:
“We want to see all airlines either charge a proportionate fee for reclaiming Air Passenger Duty on unused flights, or charge nothing at all**. Airlines should not be the automatic beneficiary of any unclaimed APD. We think that any administration fees that put people off claiming back APD are unfair.”
