Thomsonfly cushions impact of APD rise
Thomsonfly is offsetting the hike in Air Passenger Duty next month by discounting the equivalent amount off holiday accommodation booked via its website.
The arrangement applies to travellers with pre-booked flights on or after February 1 who will be required to pay the additional £5 APD before they travel.
The new scheme is designed to help the airline’s passengers share the burden of the new charges.
“Recognising that this tax will be an unexpected and unwelcome additional financial burden, Thomsonfly is offering affected customers a unique opportunity by discounting the equivalent amount from any new Thomson accommodation booking,” a statement from the airline said.
Travellers can search hotels, villas and apartments by clicking on “Hotels” at www.thomsonfly.com.
Those who cancel their bookings will be required to adhere to standard cancellation terms.
