Fuel Surcharges
It seems that fuel prices have eased from their record highs of a few months back and things are back to where they were a year ago. It also seems that none of the major airlines have noticed and are still adding fuel surcharges....
I wonder, should someone tell them, they are often slow to catch on.

They've returned to prices from four months ago, not a year. They're still significantly higher than prices a year ago.

That said, I think fuel surcharges are deceptive and should be illegal.
