Do I Have To Pay Airport Tax On Flights Inside The EU?

The airport tax charge is usually relayed from the airline to the passengers through a hidden cost included in the flight ticket price.

Airport taxes, often also referred to as airport passenger duty, are charges that airports require airlines to pay for using the airport facilities.

UK citizens flying within the EU are also liable to pay these taxes, as the airlines are still subject to them. However, the distance of your flight and which class you're flying will affect the amount you need to pay. For example, shorter flights in economy class will usually mean less airport tax, which means a cheaper flight. In other words, short flights within the EU will usually incur less taxes.
