When does the carrier imposed surcharge (YQ) post? Will they post with the return? Or is this an error that I would have to call to address? I would appreciate any insights.
Thanks!
If you are looking at the pricing on each fare component, are they the same for both outbound and return fares? It seems on roundtrip bookings, they can potentially just split the total of the fares in half and credit half the price in each direction of travel.
Also, BA and AA coordinate TATL fare filings and the YQ/YR surcharges on revenue fares are identical on both airline's fares. You are perhaps confusing them with carrier surcharges on award tickets. For biz fares, YR is currently $1025 each way and YQ is $30 on return direction from EU. Since the YR surcharge is actually charged in an each way manner, you will earn miles on YR each way (the total of the YR surcharges won't all credit on the outbound flights if that's what you are assuming).
