Why is it cheaper to fly to Paris than London?

The reason is the higher fees and taxes that air travellers face in the case of the UK. The Air Passenger Duty (APD), which is the UK Government's departure tax, is currently £94 ($169) for an economy-class passenger on a long-haul flight, and £188 ($339) for a business-class passenger on the same flight.
