Flight tickets - do they include any fuel anymore?

[thursday 1]

their way of pushing the blame and delaying the reduction in the meantime.

This page from KLM is interesting, they have the surcharge info all laid out:

I wonder what the current price is for jet fuel though.

As ever as clear as muck.

 

Is there an English translation?

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.

Cathay, Sing, ANA, Nepal got their reduction granted. 45% short, 40% long.

 

Nepal Airline <------- can't wait to try them.

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.

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).

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.
