So if I fly from US to Dublin, and then DUB to EDI, and reverse it GLA to DUB, DUB to the US, I won't be charged the doubled tax?
Also, all business class carriers do not pay the premium tax - so they pay ony £40 per ticket rather than the £80 demanded for most premium economy and business/first tickets.

Airlines like www.maxjet.com (JFK-London Stansted), www.lavion.com (EWR-Pais) www.eosairlines.com (JFK - STN) and most particularly www.flysilverjet.com (EWR-London Luton) allow you travel in style for a little more than an economy fare, and you cut out the hassle of LHR AND the extra tax for business class flights.

Silverjet even has its own private terminal at Luton and Newark to speed you on your way.....
