This seems to be a stupid question but I'd love a definitive answer. Thanks.

VAT is charged on Train Travel within the UK. Air Travel has no VAT but incurs a Passenger Duty charge which is is a set amount per ticket (different amts for domestic / international).
Airlines are not VAT registered.

Yes it is, but, more importantly, does anyone remember when VAT was introduced.
It was supposed to be a tax on luxury, non essential purchases!
Funny how things change and we forget!!

Yes it is. I believe the only goods and services VAT is not payable on is food you get from a supermarket and children's educational material.
