BA/VS

Virgin announced yesterday afternoon and British Airways followed suit. Both effective midnite today. Neither airline has lowered surcharge for its premium passengers. This is from travelmole.com UK edition so I don't know if it works for originatiing in other countries: BA World Traveler L13 less on longer sectors and L10 on shorter;World Travler Plus L6.5 long sectors/L5 short . The difference btw long-short haul according to article more/less than 9 hrs. Meanwhile, Virgin economy passengers will pay L10 less on short sectors and L13 on long;Premium economy L5 less on short/L6.5 long. A spokesman for Virgin said "Upper Class passengers pay more as their space and baggage allowances onboard are much greater." That means for Virgin the fuel charges for short sectors will be L68-Economy and L83 for Premium Economy, but remain L98 UC. Longer sectors will be L96,L114.50 and L133 respectively.
