AirAsia is the next airline to drop fuel surcharges.
According to their Facebook page “will be abolishing fuel surcharge
effective 26 January 2015 across all of its airlines in the group, as
well as its low-cost long haul affiliates AirAsia X, Thai AirAsia X and
Indonesia AirAsia X, in line with declining global oil prices.” (Source AirAsia)
Qantas is also set to lower fuel surcharges but only
on award tickets as they phase out the Fuel Surcharge and have it built
into the base fare of tickets. This means purchased revenue tickets on
Qants will not get cheaper but since they are not being reported
separately does it mean they should not be charged on award tickets?
Unfortunately this is not the case! They will still be charged on award
tickets but at a reduced amount. (Source One Mile at a Time)
