Qantas changes to Fuel Surcharge (YQ) Application

"Qantas is changing the way it applies Fuel Surcharge (YQ).

From 7 May 2014 the fuel surcharge on Qantas flights* will be calculated based on the point of origin of the itinerary instead of the country where the ticket is issued. The fuel surcharge will be applied in the currency of the country where the itinerary originates, then converted to the local currency in the ticketing country using the exchange rate applicable at the time of ticketing.

There will be no change to the Qantas fuel surcharge levels where tickets are issued in the same country as the point of origin.

Tickets issued in a country different to where the itinerary originates may see a change to the Qantas fuel surcharge levels."

So I guess for those in the know, that means no more Expedia fares
