ADP reclaim for children?

At the end of last year, I booked some flights to Australia by Qatar Airways, departing from Manchester the end July returning mid-August 2015. I believe I was charged ADP for the children's flights so as the flights are after 1st May when ADP for children was abolished, I wish to reclaim it.


Does anyone know the reclaim process for Qatar Airways?


On my e-ticket receipt under taxes and carrier imposed fees, it shows:


Adult: 71.00 GB, 15.70 UB, GBP 0.60PZ, GBP 28.10 AU, GBP 3.40 WG, GBP 16.00 WY, GBP 276.00 YQ
Child: 15.70 UB, 0.60 PZ, GBP 0.60PZ, GBP 28.10 AU, GBP 3.40 WG, GBP 16.00 WY, GBP 276.00 YQ


I've no idea what these mean. Does anyone know which if any refers to ADP?


Thanks

    Yorkiealot26,

    You didn't pay APD on the child ticket.

    You're right, but to make it clearer for the OP:

    GB tax is the UK departure tax that has been abolished. You'll see it paid on the adult ticket (£71.00) but not the child. So you aren't due any refund.

    Which, for future reverence reference, they could have easily found out themselves by googling how much apd is and looking for the corresponding entry.

    (Not meant to be quite as snotty as it sounds!)

    Yeah, but we know that not everyone thinks to use Google....and I didn't want the OP to come back to you and say 'are you sure' or 'how do you know'
