As for carriers which themselves levy the fuel surcharge on award tickets drawn on their own FF program - thats BS as well - LOT does not charge YQ on their redemptions to their own M&M members - yet AC does on LOT
TK does charge YQ - yet AC does not.

It has nothing to do with carriers charging their own members - its arbitrary based on some caluclation AC did.

And none of this was requested by the carriers (LH/NH/TG) overnight - because, unless AC is special, they would have requested same of UA/US - which then wouldve passed it onto the customer - unless of course they are eating the cost everytime they book an LH/TG/etc award ticket.........
