... Yep, those fuel-fines really add up!
Totally agree there!!
Let's see, If i'm running a business, say it's a french patisserie and I make the best croissants in the southern hemisphere which sells for $10 each......for 2007, the price of flour has gone up 20% due to the drought Australia-wide........there is no way in this world that I could advertise my croissants as $10 PLUS 20% flour fine?
so i either absorb the increase cost? OR increase my total price, say I increase it to $12 each.
so my grudge is this, not just with QF but most airlines - it's time to have all inclusive costs rather than flight cost + this and that + fuel fines + surcharge + bla bla bla
if fuel (or whatever inputs) goes up, absorb it or increase your total cost, just don't just add an extra $20 fuel sector charge or $30 or whatever & blame something else..........
