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.

Never found J reward on domestic NH. Did get an op-up once on my birthday, and birthday "card" from the crew. No FF status, reward flight.

I'm also getting a YQ + goods and services tax (XG) on that YQ when inputting YYZ-PHX. However, the revenue fare doesn't include YQ in the listing.

Revenue:

Canadian Goods and Services Tax (XG) CA$33.34
USDA APHIS Fee (XA) CA$5.60
US Immigration Fee (XY) CA$9.90
US Customs Fee (YC) CA$7.80
Toronto Airport Improvement Fee (SQ) CA$25.00
Canadian Harmonized Sales Tax (ON) (RC) CA$3.25
US International Arrival Tax (US) CA$25.10
Canadian Air Travelers Security Charge (CA) CA$12.10

How can they have no YQ on revenue fare but add it to the X/I class fare?

I think because they changed to "carrier surcharge" (YR) instead of naming it "fuel surcharge (YQ)"? Same rip-off, different name

That's the price we have to pay to use AP miles

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. ^
