Mmm. Just looked in itasoftware at a business class return on BA LAX-LHR - and the fuel fines are USD592!!
Last year I posted the results of a quick study I did of the fuel fines vs ticketing carrier - see post #20 in
fuel-surcharge-differences-xonex-fares
The main findings were:
- AY and LA charged no YQ
- JL and AA charged a small YQ
- RJ, CX and IB were in the middle
- BA and QF were the expensive ones
Things may have changed by now of course. Perhaps it's time for new study
