Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

If any traveller fails to take a flight that they have booked then they are entitled to a refund of the Air Passenger Duty (APD) element. However, as
this report
says, many airlines make it difficult to do so by charging an administration fee that can be as much as or greater than the tax itself. Interestingly the report says Easyjet is the only major airline to refund the tax for free - well done
Michelle
and your colleagues!
In the longer term, if the government (as it has said it intends to) replaces individual APD with a tax paid by the airline per flight (regardless of number of passengers) then although the airlines will obviously rightly factor this cost into their prices, as there will then no longer be an individual tax element there can be no tax refunds.
