Really odd since I did three premium awards this year (2012) Brazil to LHR, MAD and CDG on BA, Iberia and AF and none had any YQ and only had less than $50 taxes in charges. So something has changed recently.
Actually, I just priced an award with BA miles and Iberia miles also for next week (flying on Iberia GRU-MAD in business). Again does not show any YQ.
