    So if your flights are already booked and paid for, to fly after the next increase, do you have to pay more or will it not affect us?

    The increases were announced a long while ago and have been built in to ticket prices so you won't have to pay any more.

    APD is an area where airlines can retrospectively charge you (this happened a few years ago) but this is not the case here.
