What about FUEL surcharges?

Adding on to this...I've recently been hearing/seeing people post about "fuel surcharges" being tacked on for award flights - sometimes really big numbers ($700 and up). To me, that really devalues award flights, and I'd like to know which carriers do this, and get some notion of how large these fees might be for specific flights.

FWIW I've never paid a fuel surcharge (at least that I'm aware of) on any award flight, and I've taken more than a few. I'm used to various processing/ticketing fees + taxes, running up to about $100 per ticket on international flights. If I got dinged with a $700 "fuel surcharge" on top of that, I'd be pretty hacked off.

But back to the topic at hand...Does anyone know if there's a good chart showing which airlines impose fuel surcharges, and how much?

Thanks!
