I presume it has something to do with LX not playing the fuel hedge as long as LH has. When you emerge from BK with a bad credit rating you can't find many people who will trust you enough to pay you hedge bet if things go south. So average hedge prices/cost for LH must be lower than LX.
Tks for the clarification about the hedge prices.

I know there is a way to compare them in air freight but I don't know about PAX. Does anybody know if LH also works with the fuel index for tickets to decide whether they raise or lower the fuel surcharge?

Last week a friend asked me how to fly to ZRH in February and the fare was 3USD one-way ex DUS !!! The taxes were 98,20$... Where else can you afford to cancel a ticket for just 3$ cancellation fee !?

Info to german TAs:
3/215: 08.11.07 Lufthansa passt Treibstoffzuschlag für Interkontinentalflüge an
Treibstoffzuschläge auf Kurz- und Mittelstrecken-Flügen bleiben unverändert. Nachdem der Rohölpreis in den letzten Wochen auf einen neuen Höchststand gestiegen ist, reagiert Lufthansa auf die dadurch gestiegenen Preise für Kerosin und erhöht ihren Treibstoffzuschlag für interkontinentale Flüge um zehn Euro. Der Zuschlag für Langstreckentickets beträgt somit ab dem Verkaufsdatum 14. November 2007 pro Streckenabschnitt 77 Euro.
Für innerdeutsche und innereuropäische Flüge liegt der Zuschlag unverändert bei 14 Euro pro Flugstrecke.
Lufthansa beobachtet den Ölpreis kontinuierlich und wird zukünftige Anpassungen der Zuschläge von der weiteren Entwicklung des Treibstoffpreises auf dem Rohstoffmarkt abhängig machen.

Now in english (info to scandic TAs):
Lufthansa adapts fuel surcharge on long-haul flights
Surcharge on long-haul flights will be increased effective 14th November 2007. No change in fuel surcharge on short and medium-haul services.
Lufthansa is increasing its fuel surcharge for intercontinental flights by 10 EUR per flight segment. The surcharge on flights within Europe will not be increased. The crude oil price has risen rapidly in recent weeks. Lufthansa is reacting to this development by adapting its fuel surcharge.
The YQ-surcharge on long-haul flights will be thus increased from 75 EUR to 85 EUR per flight segment. The YQ-surcharge on flights within Europe remains unchanged at 22 EUR per flight segment. The fare quote will be updated accordingly and the new YQ-surcharge applies for tickets issued on/after 14th November 2007.

Increase in fuel charges?
I haven't heard any announcements, but just noticed that the taxes on an award ticket I have on hold have increased by $50 in the past day or two - I made the reservation on Monday, but hesitated as the taxes on a simple TLV-FRA-LHR and return in business were coming to $415 which I thought was a lot - but I checked today and the taxes/charges have increased to $465 !
This is really getting ridiculous for a short mile journey, just outside Europe...
