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.

But...
- TD Visa perks for Air Canada
- dropping bags off at home in Edmonton
- having lunch with a friend I rarely see in YVR
- seeing family in Edmonton and sleeping in my own bed for a few hours
- avoiding bringing in restricted articles that US CBP could question (that historically CBSA was okay with)

Just purchased YEG-YYZ rt in J
Hi Folks,
Our YEG based son needed to go to YYZ and we decided to treat him to a J return trip blowing 50,000 AP points.
Additional charges were $162.91 and comprised of: ATSC $14.25, AC Carrier surcharge $54.00, and XT Combined taxes, fees, surcharges $94.66 (comprised of XT6.41XG30.00YR55.00SQ3.25RC)
(No idea what those are as we've never bought a domestic ticket before as we usually just stopover in YEG to/from Asia)
