KAYAK.co.uk picks up your taxes for all flights to Panama

Tax havens for the rich, what about the rest of us?

We’ve all read the headlines by now. Ousted prime ministers, celebrities running scared, and there’s certainly more bad news for the filthy rich coming when the full extent of the leak is exposed. Was your favourite footballer or supermodel living large while dodging the tax man in Panama? Did the politician that you cast your vote for get a little too loose with their accounting?

We’ll find out soon enough.

At KAYAK, we don’t think it’s fair that only the über rich get to be creative with their “tax savings”. That’s why we’ll be picking up the taxes for anyone that books a flight to Panama this week. It’s simple. You pay for the ticket, we pay all of your taxes. What’s more, it’s all legal, which means you don’t have to worry about the authorities knocking on your door.
