I don't doubt what you say, however when BA states that it varies based on flight duration, and with nothing else mentioned, implying that that is the only parameter, its at the very least, confusing. If it isn't really directly related to the fuel being used, then calling it a carrier surcharge, instead of persisting with fuel surcharge, would seem to be an obvious answer.
(PS. I think you meant DXB for your destination?)
Yeap, thanks, corrected.
