Some airlines are taking payment off the credit cards given at booking!

GOOD NEWS BACK FROM BULGARIA AIR!!!

Thanks for your e-mail. If the tickets are issued before the new tax has been introduced then you don't have to pay anything.

re: new airport taxes

If I remember rightly, the notice has been removed alreayd so can't check for sure, that First Choice have said that anyone that has booked through them will be contacted about the increase if it applies to them. I think it was anyone booked before 7th December and flying out before 2nd Feb won't be affected.
Anything booked there after I think it applies!

Either way customers that are affected will be contacted.
