Routes that do not have fuel surcharges (YQ) when operated by carriers that normally charge YQ:
1. USA-Germany-Other country. If only the Germany-other country segment is on LH it does not have YQ. E.g. DFW-FRA-BLR with TATL on UA and FRA-BLR on LH.
2. USA-Canada-Other country. The USA-Canada segment on AC does not have YQ if the Canada-Other country segment is operated by a carrier that does not charge YQ. E.g. DFW-YYZ-ADD.

Nabbed the following for mid-April:
YYZ-YVR AC J
YVR-AKL NZ J
AKL-WLG NZ J
80,000 Aeroplan + $122.36.
Very shocked to find NZ J availability - I have not seen/heard of a single seat being available for years. Up to the end of May there's pretty decent availability from SFO/LAX/YVR. ^
