UK Air Passenger Duty (APD) is scheduled to rise in April 2026 and 2027, significantly impacting travel costs. Families, particularly those opting for premium travel, will face substantial increases. For instance, a family of four flying premium economy to Orlando could see their APD exceed £1,000. This increase is expected to affect long-haul destinations most significantly, potentially making air travel less accessible for some. The specific amounts of the APD increases will depend on the distance of the flight and the class of travel.
