Just booked two direct return flights to Orlando from Manchester for March 2012.
Cost £194, ie £48.50 each flight each way!!

Oh yes, they did add on taxes (just £560 extra)

******

I knew a big chunk of our flight costs are made up of taxes, but I had never realy looked into it before and didn't realise just how big a chunk.
I read at the weekend that flight tax has risen for long haul by 1,700% since 1994 and it is due to rise again by 25% !!!
This is getting silly.

Just thought I'd share with you.
