you will find that if you fly yp the far east you will be charged £85 departure tax...
and do you have evidence of this? I've flown Hong Kong, Philippines and Singapore, but I never heard of this tax....maybe you refer to the standard travel tax which is paid on all journeys by air whether its domestic in UK or long-haul to Hong Kong. This tax has been in place for years and years!!
