It would be good to hear definitively on this! If they are, which is now the "best" carrier to try to ticket on in order to keep such charges down? Thanks.
The YQ/YR collection from AA for other carriers does apply to RTW tickets. The biggest addition was with MH; they have crazy high fuel surcharges.
