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.

Holy cow, that's awesome. I really want to fly direct to London, but the charges are just a killer

I'm facing the same thing when I book YVR - LHR next month. Either give up the nice direct flight and get rerouted god knows where through the US or payup.

Does anyone know anything about this??
Thanks!

Is there anyway to check what the fees would be for a Star Alliance flight before booking? I know I can do a pretend booking on AC metal, but no idea how to get the fees for say a Lufthansa reward ticket. Would they be similiar to what I'd pay if I were buying a ticket?
