Isn't it that if YQ is recalculated (IE route change not just date changes) then YQ on the full remaining itinerary is recalculated (IE all segments, not just those that were changed) ? So the culprit may be elsewhere or spread out.
Anyone know of any threads discussing how much YQ has been rising per airline? With QR atar majority filling up in Qatar where they will be have a huge excess of jet fuel, you would hope they are back of the pack for yq rises.
