Question regarding fuel surcharge when using miles to book award tickets.
Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out with this query. I'd like to book a J class ticket from YYZ-HKG via CX with my BA miles. Why is BA adding the fuel surcharge to the price of a ticket when I'm not flying BA metal. Adding to the confusion is the fact that I can book a J class ticket with my miles (via BA site as well) from YYZ-MIA-BAI on AA metal and there is no fuel surcharge on the price.

Is the fact that i could technically fly YYZ-LHR-HKG with BA metal the reason for the fuel surcharge? Thank you.
