trying to transfer Amex points to Krisflyer on order to book a domestic U.S. flight on United which is available for 12.500 miles. Agent on the phone could not tell me if they will charge my for fuel etc., or just the 2.50 USD United is charging. Does anybody know?

hi, apologies for bumping this but i also have a similar question - does SQ impose the YQ charge on all award flights or only where when the relevant carrier does?

Since the new reservation system came in last month SQ is charging me fuel surcharge on UA flights from Australia to the US.. and that adds ~$800 to a roundtrip booking. So not really attractive to use SQ miles for that

Wow, that's rather offensive considering SQ likely holds onto that money.
