UK: Reclaim tax on children’s flights

Air passenger duty, which is payable on flights leaving UK airports, has not applied to under-12s since May 1 2015, and will no longer be levied on under-16s flying from March 1. Bookings made before the reforms were signed into law, for travel after these dates, will have included the tax, but fear not — refunds are still available from the airline in question. On flights further than 2,000 miles — typically four hours or longer — the rebate will be £71 per child. For short-haul flights, £13 will be due. On premium seats, you will be owed twice as much.<br/>
