Booking Flights

[Allanv]

What is the best way to book flights to Canada avoiding lots of tax?

Would it be easier / cheaper to book a flight to Europe somewhere then a connecting flight to Canada or would it make no difference.

The reason I ask is because I found a cheap flight for £170 return but the Tax was £290 robbing bds.

....most of which is Airport + Fuel taxes.

No way round it even if flying indirectly (using fictitious origin or destination points will just increase the taxes too).

Sorry Fella....blame the eco-losers/gubberment

Probably cheapest way is to go direct with Air Canada. Taxes will always be painful on this route though. I booked a return Heathrow to Vancouver yesterday, direct flights and that was still £220 in tax!

Blame Gordon Brown - the APD (Air Passenger Duty) is his 'brainchild'

RyanAir has halted UK expansion due to this envy tax.
