YQ tax not refundable
We are all familiar with airlines transforming a large part of the airfare into a
YQ tax (fuel surcharge). Recently, some airlines started to make YQ tax not refundable. I guess the next step will be to make ALL the taxes not refundable.

I noticed this with Diamond Club too. On one particular booking, the total came out to about 250 GBP. As almost 200 GBP is YQ tax (4,50 GBP credit card fee is not refundable either), this means that on a 250 GBP booking (miles only) you only get about 25 GBP back!

Is this normal? Or is it part of the transfer to Miles and More?
