Thumbs up LOT do not charge M&M awards on fuel surcharge !
I was just informed by M&M service centre that LOT Polish Airlines do not charge us for fuel surcharges anymore (unfortunatly I've booked two LH segments for my last award itenary to KUL- dreaded experience, brrr...).
Great move, I think.
I checked it and .. it's true . For example PRG-WAW-JFK ticekt will cost You c.a. 63 EUR, if you fly on PRG-ZRH-JFK they will charge You 304 EUR. Such a huge difference. Choice is obvious...
Thanks, LOT !

That's great news! ^^

But I wish the rest of M&M could follow suit - LOT's network is a little small, especially long-haul.

... and the hard product is probably not too exciting ('probably' because I've never tried them l/h).

Thanks for posting. This is especially interesting for Y awards IMHO.

Y is nothing special really but C is quite comparable with LH IMHO.

They give you some of these portable players as VOD-system (only in C of course).

Here I reveal my ignorance on the redemption side of the game:

if booked through M&M, with M&M miles, will LH YQ still be applied to an SAS or LOT operated sector?

For LOT operated flight no YQ applies when booking through M&M with M&M-miles. I would be very interested to find out if it is the same with SAS-operated flights also...

Does anyone know whether SAS still charges YQ on M&M award tickets? I read that they want to stop it, but not sure, wheter for all award tickets or just for EuroBonus awards.

I sent a mail to M&M and asked exactly the same question. SAS and YQ practicalities. I got a generic response lecturing me about YQ charges and how you can offset this by paying 15k miles within Europe.

(cross-posted from another thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/star-...-awards-3.html)

For the record, LO is back to charging YQ on award tickets. Although their YQ is a lot smaller than that of LH or LX.
I would not be surprised if they were forced to re-start charging it by LH. Obviously, that situation was creating inconsistency within the M&M program and I am sure LH did not like that...
