British Airways Adds Fuel Surcharge on Long-Haul Flights

British Airways has increased its fuel surcharge on long-haul services. There will be no fuel surcharge increase to any British Airways’ short-haul services. World Traveller and World Traveller Plus tickets will increase by £12 per sector (£24 return), and First and Club World tickets will increase by £17 per sector (£34 return).  The move reflects the continuing substantial increase in the price of oil and a 14 percent rise in the spot price of jet fuel since the airlines’ last fuel surcharge increase in December 2010.

The change will mean that World Traveller fares on flights over nine hours will increase from £76 a sector to £88. On flights of less than nine hours, the surcharge increases from £63 a sector to £75. Surcharges on World Traveller Plus flights over nine hours will increase from £94.50 a sector to £106.50. On flights of less than nine hours, the surcharge will increase from £73 per sector to £85. For First and Club World flights over nine hours the surcharge, will increase from £108 per sector to £125. On flights of less than nine hours it will increase from £88 per sector to £105.
