In light of the doubling of Air Passenger Duty tax on all UK flight departures (from February 2007) – here’s another reason to consider all business class airlines.

Fly London to New York in a premium cabin (first, business or premium economy) on a standard airline and you will now pay £80 duty on your ticket. However because all business class airlines have only one class of seats, they are considered as economy flights for tax purposes and you will pay only £40 for the same trans-Atlantic journey.

Book a round trip on Eos airlines by December 22nd (travel by April 30 2007) and they will throw in 100 Jet Blue TrueBlue points – enough for a return trip anywhere on JetBlue’s network. You need to join JetBlue’s loyalty program.

Silverjet are offering round trip fares from London Luton to New York Newark for £799. For an extra £200 they will throw in 2 nights at the Millenium Hotel UN Plaza in Midtown Manhattan. Flights commence on January 25th 2007.
