Are these fuel surcharges from a BA forum thread in May still correct? 94.5 pounds would be over $US150. That's each way? Guess I won't be redeeming award tickets anytime soon SFO-LHR on BA metal. Hello, AA nonstops from LAX, DFW, ORD or JFK.

The surcharge in World Traveller Plus under 9 hours increase by €3 from €83.50 to €86.50 per flight; and over nine hours increase by €5 from €114to €119 per flight
The surcharge in Club World and First under 9 hours increase by €3 from €103 to €106 per flight; and over nine hours increase by €5 from €132 to €137 per flight
The amounts are stated in € and the CHF equivalent should quote in your GDS from Friday 14 May 2010.
Unfortunately, we have little choice but to pass on some of this extra cost to our customers.
