prices include all known air taxes at the time of costing!

By booking with Charity Challenge, you can rest assured that we include ALL known air taxes (including fuel) at the time of costing. Many companies do not include air taxes at all, and some only include certain elements of the air taxes and clients are therefore hit with a surcharge of hundreds of pounds just before departure. Air taxes (which included APD, airport taxes and government taxes) and the approximate cost of the fuel are known at the time of costing a challenge, so there should be no reason why this cost is not included in the overall cost of the challenge.

To give you an idea of the applicable air taxes for our main destinations, see below (correct as of December 2011)*

London to Delhi - £304.63
London to Bangkok - £340.43
London to Beijing - £315.33
London to Cusco - £465
London to Kathmandu - £312.23

These taxes are included for all Charity Challenge expeditions at the time of costing. If the air taxes increase between the time of costing your challenge and your departure, we will absorb up to £50 (depending on the challenge) before passing on any increased costs.

Our aim is to provide you with transparent pricing and clear instructions as to what is included in our prices and if applicable what isn’t. Nobody likes a nasty surprise, so when comparing prices ensure that all air taxes are included including fuel costs!
