Does that mean the likes of caribbean flights will be refunded like 60 quid on an return already booked?

I was hoping it went the other way and they abolished short hauls too...

Great news but still punitive and crippling for both business and leisure :(!

Only presumably an issue if you have something booked for on or after 1st April 2015, the date at which the change comes in.

Good to know as that's just after the start of the easter hols when I'd normally be heading to ANU, BGI or UVF, will plan accordingly...

Then again, are we only talking about £60 off a return to the caribbean?

Don't agree with that buns.... 'Taxes are what we pay for a civilised society'.

YQ on the other hand.... scrap that and I am right behind ya with the banners and the images of SRB on fire ;)
