Routes that do not have fuel surcharges (YQ) when operated by carriers that normally charge YQ:
1. USA-Germany-Other country. If only the Germany-other country segment is on LH it does not have YQ. E.g. DFW-FRA-BLR with TATL on UA and FRA-BLR on LH.
2. USA-Canada-Other country. The USA-Canada segment on AC does not have YQ if the Canada-Other country segment is operated by a carrier that does not charge YQ. E.g. DFW-YYZ-ADD.

Avoid AC and save!
Got a great deal by avoiding AC:
YVR->ORD (UA J)
ORD->ZRH (LX F)
ZRH->MAD (LX J) Destination
SVQ->BCN (JK Y) Open jaw, stop
BCN->ZRH (LX J)
ZRH->ORD (LX F)
ORD->YVR (UA J)
2 * 100,000 = 200,000 miles
2 * 57.10 = 114.20 CAD fees, surcharges, and taxes
2 * 31.50 = 63 CAD aeroplan call centre fee
