APD incorrectly charged on some London to Jersey flights

Jersey Resident finds error in BA billing system where it seemed to have been applying APD on departures to Jersey connecting from an international flight through the UK using domestic flight rules,
The good news it has been corrected and they have received a refund for forward flights and await refunds for any past flights affected

Yes the issue is on an INT-DOM connection you don’t pay APD if your onward flight is within 6 hours of arriving - for INT-INT the period is much longer at 24 hours.
It seems BA was incorrectly applying the shorter period for people booking INT-JER itineraries so you were being charged APD on your LGW-JER flight (£13 in Y, £26 in J) if you had say a 7 hour connection.

Which essentially (or at least in the majority of cases) would be those on an overnight connection given the frequency of flights to JER?
ive often connected INT-JER, but never over a 6 hour connection.

We did have a couple of very long layovers at LGW last year, but I would have to check details when I get home from our current holiday.
