But BA doing the ticketing means you they will collect fuel fines just about anywhere correct?
I did substitute QR (JNB-DOH-MAD) with BA (JNB-LHR-MAD) and the total fuel fine difference was only about 416ZAR or ~$37, of course there are higher airport taxes as well, but it comes as a surprise to me.
If I am not mistaken, because I am only doing a connection in LHR on the way to MAD, I should be able to use AA flight numbers is that correct? I wonder if I can do that to try and realize a YQ reduction.
I hope the RTW can provide a better fuel fine break down and also will see whether the switch of first flights can massage those fines some more.
