I guess this is with most airlines.. ifu redeem their miles on their flights then its the best option we have.. even though the value of these r also going down steadly worldover nowadays...
i don't believe its 9w that adds fuel surcharges on partner awards but the partner airline itself....as abhilife2001 said, 9w is never aware how much the taxes & surcharges would be on a partner redemption ticket....you have to send in your request & then they will get back to you once they have checked with the partner airline....
