British Airways: Fuel surcharge increase on long-haul flights

British Airways will increase its fuel surcharge on long-haul flights as of 08 April 2011. This is the third hike in four months for the airline.

The change will mean:

• For World Traveller flights over nine hours an increase from £76 a sector to £88. On flights of less than nine hours an increase from £63 a sector to £75.
• For World Traveller Plus flights over nine hours an increase from £94.50 a sector to £106.50. On flights of less than nine hours an increase from £73 per sector to £85.
• For First and Club World flights over nine hours an increase from £108 per sector to £125. On flights of less than nine hours an increase from £88 per sector to £105.

The move reflects the continuing substantial increase in the price of oil and a 14 per cent rise in the spot price of jet fuel since our last fuel surcharge increase in December 2010. There will be no fuel surcharge increase to any British Airways’ shorthaul services.
