Don't know if you have seen this in the news recently but in December, Gordon Brown (bless him) increased APD taking effect from Feb 07. I got a letter from my tour operator operator this morning explaining this and informing me that I need to pay an extra £40 (2 people). Anyone flying after Jan 31st can expect something similar. Just remember, don't vent your spleen at your tour op, it aint their fault and they're far from happy about this either.
