APD Duty for Transit on Seperate Tickets:

Officially NO

Unofficially YES

It is extremely difficult to get an Airline or Travel Agent to go to the trouble of cross referencing your 2 tickets especially when they may be issued by 2 seperate entities.


No APD Payable when:
4.4 Tickets
In addition to the time related criteria, the agreement for carriage must be evidenced by a ticket which must show the:

airport from which the passenger intends to depart
date and time of his intended departure and
airport at which he intends to arrive.
The connected flights must be detailed on the same ticket or conjunction tickets to qualify for the exemption. Tickets can only be regarded as conjunction tickets if:

(a) they are in one booklet; or

(b) where they are in separate booklets:

each refers to the other and states that they are to be read in conjunction or
there is a summary of the flights constituting the passengers journey including the flights in question.
Although the flights may meet all the other criteria for determining whether two flights are connected, they will only qualify for the exemption if the connection is evidenced on the ticket or a flight summary.
