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.

So I guess that's why people are calling AP agent to book the trip instead since the online tool is unable to calculate the charges for *A partners.

But it's still worth the service fee we pay...

It's not that the other partners don't have fuel surcharges...at the moment AE agents do not calculate fuel surcharges for partner airlines unless the booking/reservation engine can generate it automatically.

The more *A partners in the booking (with no AC segments) the better the chance of having no fuel surcharge on your award ticket.

No idea why most of you paid less than CAD100 for overseas trips.....
Try to avoid AC even on transborder routes..Use star carriers from there CAN/US gateway cities to overseas destinations... Wow are there ever big differences in taxes and fees..Sometimes it is less expensive to buy a ticket on AC to your Star carriers gateway city rather than flying AC on the first and last leg of your reward ticket to the star carriers gateway city.

Well I flew from YYZ-JFK using Air Miles on AA, and the taxes were $235/ticket so I wouldn't recommend that!

Depending on what type of award you are doing From YUL-PHL-JFK/LGA on U.S.Air may be allowed on your reward itinerary...

Im trying to do any of the following or any other combination that works without going AC to advoid the costs. (Biz)

Now if that means I need to go via BTV then so be it.

I dont even know if these are valid or not.

YUL / JFK / FRA / SGN STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / LAX/YUL

YUL / YYZ / FRA/ SGN STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / LAX / YUL

YUL /JFK / FRA/ HKG STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / LAX/YUL

YUL / YYZ/ FRA/ HKN STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / LAX / YUL

YUL /JFK / FRA/ PVG STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / LAX/YUL

YUL / YYZ/ FRA/ PVG STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / LAX / YUL

YUL / JFK / FRA / SGN STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / FRA / JFK / YUL

YUL / YYZ / FRA/ SGN STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / FRA / YYZ / YUL

YUL /JFK / FRA/ HKG STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / FRA / JFK / YUL

YUL / YYZ/ FRA/ HKN STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / FRA / YYZ / YUL

YUL /JFK / FRA/ PVG STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / FRA / JFK / YUL

YUL / YYZ/ FRA/ PVG STOP / SIN / SYD STOP / SIN / FRA / YYZ / YUL

I wish we had a thread for every possible solution to Australia

I would add the US AIR segments at the beginning of your itinerary and at the end if flying via JFK...One agent will tell you a certain itinerary is valid another agent will tell you its not valid.. Some AP agents do not even know whats valid.. I would try the following : YUL-PHL-LGA/JFK-FRA-SIN-SYD-SIN-FRA-JFK/LGA-PHL-YUL.. Using US Air to LGA and SQ for the rest of the itinerary... or YUL-IAD/CLT-JFK
