SK themselves do not apply a YQ charge out of Scandinavia so the answer would be a no. Starting a long haul trip out of CPH on SK is therefore usually a good way to go, especially if you are going to Zone 8 (NRT/PEK etc.) where you also save on the miles/cash compared with starting in the UK.Originally Posted by flytofly
Does DC now add fuel surcharges on SK flights out of CPH?

Above thing does not apply when you make two one-way bookings.
If your journey(every ticket) starts:
ex-Scandinavia: No fuel surcharge for all SK segments.
ex outside of Scandinavia: Fuel surcharge applies even for SK flights.

SAS has decided to reduce fuel surcharges with 3 EUR on domestic, intrascandinavian and European flights. On intercontinental flights the surcharges will be reduced by 5 EUR between Europe and USA/Asia.
These changes will be valid as from December 19 and is motivated be a less volatile and lower oil price. At the same time the USD has strengthened and SAS continue to monitor the dollar and the oil price development.

Booked a ADT+INF I award ARN-ORD and got floored by the taxes & surcharges (18750 points + 127.50 GBP Cash + 164 Tax+surcharge) as I expected no YQ on the award. A one way full fare C on SAS GB's site resulted in:

So there is some YQ in play. Let the charges appear on the account and I will check this with bmi ticketing. Arguing with the ICC is pointless.Adult traveler(s)
Immigration and naturization fee 4.80 GBP
Fuel surcharge 100.90 GBP
Animal and plant inspection service 3.40 GBP
Customs user fee 3.80 GBP
Passenger service and security charge 14.00 GBP
International transportation tax 11.10 GBP

x 1 infant(s) = 23.10 GBP
total taxes/surcharges = 161.10 GBP

I flagged this up last week when I was surprised to be charged a YQ surcharge for CPH-NRT (which I subsequently didn't book). It seems SK have indeed introduced a YQ surcharge now out of Scandinavia. ITA now displays a surcharge for all long haul SK routes ex Scandinavia and bmi appear to be charging it Originally Posted by oliver2002

A year back there was a discussion about this in the Eurobonus forum. I think the answer was that fuel surcharge should not be added on SK award-redemption (at least for Eurobonus). The moderator of the SK-forum (Tommy777) may have the definitive answer.Originally Posted by Jetstreamer

Is the fuel surcharge money just going toward padding BD's income figures or is it money that actually makes all its way to SK?
