Airline fuel surcharges reach $1000 - News - Travel - theage.com.au
Some airline passengers could soon be paying as much in fuel surcharges as the pay for their base airfare, research by Flight Centre suggests.
Flight Centre said Japan Airlines would soon become the first carrier to charge travellers a $1000 fuel surcharge on its popular Sydney to London route when its latest surcharge increases were applied from July 1.
Thai Airways and Malaysian Airlines will increase their fuel surcharge next week, taking the levy nearer to $1000 for their London routes.
