Searched Reddit and saw a few posts saying that it's basically impossible to get EY to confirm seats on SN / Brussels Airlines. Has anyone ticketed on SN using EY miles recently? And if so, do they charge the exorbitant fuel surcharge on that flight ($850 per ITA on JFK-BRU in business)?
Other than SN, does EY charge fuel surcharges on all airlines if the partner airline imposes it? YQ + YR or just one of them?
AA also has YQ/YR charges, at least on TATL routes, but from what I can gather EY doesn't seem to pass those through on awards?
