All taxes, fees and charges are to be paid by the member (not British Airways).
The fare breakdown does not include a specific line item for a fuel surcharge, but says it is included in the tax/fee/charge section. I know that Qantas charges for YQ, so I must have paid it, right?
I stand to be corrected, but I understand the it's only BA's YQ on BA flights that has been challenged, which were typically higher than this. $215 a ticket in fuel surcharge to Australia in business class at that time seems entirely reasonable. Fuel surcharges in themselves are quite valid.
