UK APD is being scrapped (on coach tickets) for children under 12 (on day of travel) from May 2015. This will be broadened to include children under the age of 16 (on day of travel) from May 2016.

And a reminder that the 2 highest bands of APD (Bands C and D) will be abolished from April 2015. All flights over 2000 miles will be charged at the same band B rate from next year potentially saving up to £52 pp for the longest flights in premium cabins
