From 1 April 2026, a rise in Air Passenger Duty could push up plane ticket prices by as much as 15%, as officials increase the tax passengers must pay to fly out of UK airports.\"UKUK tourists issued warning over booking holidays to Spain from 2026 onwards<\/p>\n

Spain has been a mainstay among British holidaymakers for years, but a new tax could threaten to make these ritual retreats more expensive. However, the shopping gurus at UK\u2019s leading fundraising platform, easyfundraising, have a solution.<\/p>\n

By using a little-known shopping trick, holidaymakers can avoid the tax and raise free donations for good causes at the same time. From 1 April 2026, a rise in Air Passenger Duty could push up plane ticket prices by as much as 15%, as officials increase the tax passengers must pay to fly out of UK airports.<\/p>\n

According to Finder.com over 17.8 million<\/a> visitors find themselves in the Mediterranean paradise each year. But with Spain\u2019s resorts already a yearly staple, this added expense could be the final straw for many British holidaymakers.<\/p>\n

But for those looking to avoid the new charge, the gurus at easyfundraising<\/a> have a solution \u2013 where Brits could save money on flights and raise funds for good causes at the same time.<\/p>\n

By booking your ritual retreats via the easyfundraising platform instead of going directly to a travel agent you could generate heaps in free donations each year. The cashback platform allows holidaymakers to book their getaways with top travel retailers and generate a free cashback donation for a good cause \u2013 at no extra cost.<\/p>\n

For example, when purchasing an all-inclusive Tui deal at Benidorm\u2019s Hotel Flamingo for a family of four this Easter, you could raise a free \u00a360 donation for your favourite cause, just by booking via easyfundraising.<\/p>\n

To get the most value for your money and avoid the tax, all holidaymakers have to do is book and fly before April 1 st , 2026. Otherwise, the incoming tax would tag a \u00a32 hike to all economy short-haul flights across the continent, turning a \u00a313 flight into a \u00a315 bill.<\/p>\n

Ditching the traditional method of booking flights and holiday getaways can go a long way via easyfundraising. James Moir, CEO of easyfundraising says: \u201cThousands of holidaymakers use our platform each year, raising donations for over 190,000 different causes. Whether you\u2019re fundraising for a school, football club, or even local charity \u2013 there\u2019s never been a better time to get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From 1 April 2026, a rise in Air Passenger Duty could push up plane ticket prices by as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12716,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5312],"tags":[2000,299,2406,104],"class_list":{"0":"post-12715","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-holidays","11":"tag-spain"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114323132851578965","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
