Holiday price hike warning issued

Thursday, 09 Oct, 2024 0

Holidaymakers are being warned to book holidays soon, before the taxman adds to the cost.

Travel platform On The Beach suggests the government could increase the cost of Air Passenger Duty.

It is urging people to book before the Autumn Budget.

Zoe Harris, chief customer officer at On the Beach said: “If you’re thinking about booking your 2025 holiday or any future holiday, our advice is to lock it in now.”

If ADP is increased, the price of flights will go up, holidays will be more expensive, that’s a fact..”

The Labour government has vowed not to increase income tax, VAT or NI but hasn’t specifically said it won’t increase the APD charge for flights.

New increases in Air Passenger Duty came into effect this year with passengers paying £2 per seat more for short haul flights.

“The UK’s Air Passenger Duty is the highest passenger tax levied anywhere in the world,” Harris added.
