The YQ fare component is also relatively new to DL.
When I booked my ticket on 09/28 the fare breakdown was as follows:
Fare: 1,972.00 USD
Tax: 338.90 USD
Total: 2,310.90 USD
Total Tax: 338.90 USD
YC 5.50
XY 7.00
US 32.60
XA 5.00
AY 7.50
GB 186.80
UB 34.60
FR 27.40
QX 19.00
XF 13.50
With the new DL YQ, there'd be a $500 YQ charge, and the base fare would have dropped by that amount, netting the same total fare cost.
