Scrapping Air Passenger Duty for Children

[Overhandzeus]

So George Osborne is expected to announce today the scrapping of air passenger duty for Children under 12, Im sure if he does it will be of benefit to many on here, Hope I get a partial refund as ive already paid for my flights in Aug 2015

Exactly my thoughts too as we have several booked and paid between now and next August, but it wouldnt surprise me if its not introduced for another 1000 years lol

Any tax reduction welcome usually will start at beginning of tax year in April need to see if flights from that date or purchased from that date.
Mine longtime past that age but good luck to all who have under 12s

I hope if it does happen then it isn't something that doesn't come into place for 100s of years, I might hang off booking my flights just in case for 2016.

I hope if this does come into force they offer the partial refunds to people who have already booked but not yet been on their flights. It would be disappointing to not get this just because you booked early.

If they were putting the taxes up then they would expect you to pay even if you have booked early wouldn't they? so surely if they are scrapping it for children then a refund should be given?

Scrapped from May next year for upto age 12 and age 16 the year after!

Yay!

Just announced scrapped for U12s on economy flights with effect from 1st May and U16s the following year.

We fly 11th May with 2 kids under 12 - does this mean we might get some money back like sunbreeze has said if they put tax cost up we have to pay it so surely if they scrap it we should get money back, hope so anyway

I wonder if any possibke refund will apply to a package?
