Changes to Fuel Surcharge (YQ) Application 09 May 2014
Qantas is changing the way it applies Fuel Surcharge (YQ).
From 7 May 2014 the fuel surcharge on Qantas flights* will be calculated based on the point of origin of the itinerary instead of the country where the ticket is issued. The fuel surcharge will be applied in the currency of the country where the itinerary originates, then converted to the local currency in the ticketing country using the exchange rate applicable at the time of ticketing.
There will be no change to the Qantas fuel surcharge levels where tickets are issued in the same country as the point of origin.
Tickets issued in a country different to where the itinerary originates may see a change to the Qantas fuel surcharge levels.
Effective Date
07 May 14 – For itineraries commencing from Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, Europe,North Africa, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Dubai.
Any existing international bookings must be ticketed on/before the effective dates, otherwise un-ticketed bookings will be reassessed and the new fuel surcharge levels will apply.
