Via View From Wing we learn that Lucky at One Mile at a Time went out on a limb in regards to Delta's new $25/$50 fuel surcharges for award charges saying: "...I think this is a good thing. No, I hate to see new fees, but I’m relieved that it’s “only” a maximum of $50."
He's not wrong. I just booked an award ticket in business class for PHL-BCN. I hadn't given it much thought, but given the current enviroment, I expected a few hundred dollars in fees per each ticket. If you dropped the hard cash you'd be subject to the $165 Q per segment surcharge that appears in this fare calculuation:
PHL US BCN Q165.00 M 2921.50DX0RY US PHL Q165.00 M 2921.50DX0RY NUC 6173.00 END ROE 1.00 FARE USD 6173.00 XT 5.50YC 7.00XY 5.00XA 30.80US 2.50AY 12.00JD 2.50QV 4.50XF PHL4.50
Instead, I just paid the taxes and fees which were under $100 per person. Lucky is right, $50 is not bad, given its only 1/3 of what many airlines are charging currently for international travel.
