I think this was in relation to LON departure taxes not OW ticketing options. Is there a difference?
Ahhh... indeed. Th exemptions to the GB tax are
- Transit passengers transferring to an international flight within 24 hours.
- Transit passengers transferring between flights when the connecting time to a UK domestic flight does not exceed 6 hours or when a flight arrives at or after 1700 one day and a connecting UK domestic flight departs by 1000 the following morning.
- Transit passengers who do not deplane.
- Visiting Forces Military Personnel and NATO Military Headquarters and Agencies Staff travelling for official purposes.
- Passengers travelling on pleasure flights that leave from and return to the same airport, do not put down anywhere else and do not exceed one hour.
(If connecting to a UK domestic flight but exceed the exemption rules, the tax is only GBP5.)
