Fuel Surcharge on SK metal award flights
I raised this a few months ago and since then have booked an Aeroplan award ticket with several SK segments (EWR-CPH-OSL) and there was no fuel surcharge as SK now includes this in the ticket price, not as an add-on like most other carriers. This means the STAR partner does not have to tack this fee onto an award ticket. That, plus the lowering of the charges associated with entering Europe at CPH, made the total cost of my award ticket less than U$100, a rarity these days. (I have two AC segments which have a fuel surcharge, plus US INS/customs fees and security charges, and two OS segments which I don't believe have fuel surcharges either.)

Aeroplan limits its STAR award tickets to 10 segments.
