The GOV.UKannouncemtn says it will be introduced from 1 April 2019

I’d seen the summary but not the proposed date so was expecting a price hike imminently along with a hike in the other surcharges many carriers impose!

Yes from 1st April 2019 - the increase is for all cabins other than Economy (which will be £78) so for VS that means PE and UC (and WT+/CW and F on BA) the rate from 1st April 2019 will be £172 per person up from the £150 rate this year and the previously announced £156 from 1st April 2018.

The short haul the rates remains unchanged(but that hasn't changed from £13/£26 for some years.

I'm planning a lot more ex Invernessess, Dublins and Amsterdams
