I wrote last week about with an update regarding APD (Air Passenger Duty) and how it affects those already booked on flights traveling after the 1st Feb.

I have just read that Thomsonfly, Thomson Holidays low cost flight airline, is to offset the hike in APD against it’s accommodation bookings by offering the equivalent amount as a discount off holiday accommodation booked on it’s website. The arrangement applies to travelers with pre-booked flights on or after February 1 who will be required to pay the additional £5 APD before they travel.

Although I expect many of it’s passengers will have already booked hotel accommodation, this is still a nice gesture. Especially when you compare it some other airlines who are just charging the additional tax to customers credit cards without contacting them first.
