Fancy putting a few pennies back in the company’s kitty? Well then it’s time to dig out those old boarding passes and if you flew with BA or Virgin between August 11 2004 and March 23 2006 you could be eligible for a refund of illegal fuel surcharges. Last year both BA and Virgin were found guilt of conspiring to fix the price of fuel surcharges, an unlawful act that saw both companies land a multi-million pound fine. But they have also both been forced to offer refunds to passengers who had to pay the illegal surcharges. It certainly won’t make your company rich (passengers are entitled to a partial refund of up to ?20 per flight) but if you believe you qualify then register your details at
www.airpassengerrefund.co.uk. You need to have purchased a long-haul flight of over seven hours, departing from the UK between the relevant dates and with one of the guilty airlines.
