APD is kind of different from airport taxes. APD is an ex-UK specific tax which Gordon Brown introduced. Its £40 in Y and £80 in C, on top of the usual airport taxes. So for reward flights it can make them quite expensive.

It can be avoided though by starting at a non-UK airport (such as DUB) and even though you route through a UK airport (a route such as DUB-LHR-LAX) you wont pay the APD
