British Airways to raise fuel surcharge from May 2nd
In light of recent fuel prices, BA are to increase their fuel surcharge. See bbc.co.uk
British Airways says it is increasing fuel surcharges on long and short-haul flights from 2 May.
The airline said the charges reflected high oil prices, which hit a record on Monday just below $120 a barrel.
The surcharge for short-haul flights will increase to £13 per flight from £10, or to £26 for a return flight.
For one-way flights of less than nine hours the charge will increase by £10 to £63, and by £15 to £79 for flights of more than nine hours.
Lucky I've already booked for most of my summer travels!
