that seems a lot,...

you only pay the apd tax on the departure flight from uk if you are going abroad, not the return flight.

Increase from £10 to £20...so the charge should only be 4 x £10 extra

The Chancellor, Gordon Brown, recently announced an increase in Air Passenger Duty (APD) on all flights leaving from UK airports. As a result tax on short-haul flights departing from the UK will rise from £5 to £10 per person (or local currency equivalent). This means for domestic flights passengers will be forced to pay £20 in tax on a return flight.

i presume that means 20 quid per person doesnt it ?

For the routes & classes BMIBaby do it's a rise from £5 to £10, so OP is looking at £20
