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.

Please list your AP Taxes and SURCHARGES on AP reward tickets

We're planning on going to Europe next year and if at all possible, I'd love to avoid paying AP fees of $450 pp. To avoid that fuel surcharge, do I have to go through the US or just not fly on AC metal? Could I fly Lufthansa Vancouver direct to Frankfurt to avoid it? Or just a stop in the US?
