I do read it online as I find it an easy layout. I do know about booking flights from abroad coming out cheaper but that's to do with our airport taxes etc being high.

But why, if I am buying a ticket to fly into the country should I have to pay UK taxes, Surely I should pay the local taxes in the same way as if I walked up to the desk in Amsterdam?

I don't like being in Europe but surely is we are all European we should all be treated the same?

It's our government who charge us APD. I priced up a flight to Fuerteventura and included in my outbound flight is £13 APD then £44 'other airport charges'

The return leg is zero APD with £41 'other airport charges' Jet2 hasn't stipulated what these 'other charges' are in their costing.

However, I did a dummy booking from Amsterdam to Fuerteventura and they had charges listed as €12 airport security, €15 Passenger service, €2 sound insulation, €6 departure tax, €4 Safety surcharge.
