Skift Take
A novel way to get additional customers for the troubled travel agency, while protesting and highlighting the APD that's been riling up everyone in the industry.
UK travel agency giant Thomas Cook is to waive Air Passenger Duty (APD) on thousands of long-haul holidays in an attempt to highlight the extent to which travellers are being taxed.
The tour operator will launch the three-week promotion, which could save a family of four up to £324, later this month.
It will be valid on all long-haul packages booked between August 24 and September 13, for travel between November 1, 2012 and October
