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.

Just keep in mind that MEX-YYZ is operated by AC rouge, so it's similar to NA J, not International J.

Interesting thing is that searching legs individually only gave Y options for ATH-IST and VCE-ZRH but searching ATH-AMS (ATH-IST-AMS) and VCE-BOS (VCE-ZRH-BOS) gives all legs in J. When I called to book, the agent only saw the Y options. I told him I saw J by searching the way I did which he confirmed and booked in J.

YYZ - LIS TP J
LIS - ZRH TP J
ZRH - HER A3 J
$ 94.64
Booked yesterday and ZRH - HER had a schedule change. Rebooked without any additional fees/taxes:
YYZ - MUC AC J
MUC - ATH A3 J
ATH - HER A3 J
$599.56 is what I would have paid.
Got a better routing (arriving 4 hours earlier) and saved a little over $500!
