bobby12 0 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 This page from KLM is interesting, they have the surcharge info all laid out: http://www.klm.com/travel/jp_en/travel_information/japan/fuel_surcharge.htm I wonder what the current price is for jet fuel though.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 As ever as clear as muck. Is there an English translation? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks bobby. It clears up the charge, but still doesn't say why they have a cheap promotion at the UK end and no corresponding one in Japan for exactly the same service. Basically, if you're going next spring, you should wait until after Jan 1 to book. That's when the surcharge will come down. ANA's info is a bit easier to understand. After Jan 1, you save about 10,000 yen per long-haul flight with them. http://www.anaskyweb.com/uk/e/ana_info/fuel/index.html Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Cathay, Sing, ANA, Nepal got their reduction granted. 45% short, 40% long. Nepal Airline <------- can't wait to try them. Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I've tried that one but it was local, from Jomson to Pokkara. Pleasant flight. We got roughed up a bit at the airport but that had nothing to do with the airline. Link to post Share on other sites
foreversnow 5 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 That was so funny I was reading it and it said Cathy, Sing, ANA and Nepal. NEPAL isn't that the national airline that carry people, pigs, lama's, chickens etc. I think they would have to pay me a surcharge to fly them OR I would have to refuel the plane myself to know that there was actually enough fuel in it for my flight. (my apologies to any nepalese natives I may have offend). Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, I read an article about the worry that some airlines in a bid to reduce costs will skimp on the volume of fuel on a flight to near dangerous levels. Link to post Share on other sites
