Japan fuel surcharges

Airlines impose fuel surcharges on international tickets, including flights operated by partner airlines under the same flight code. For flights between Japan and North America or Hawaii, if the yen equivalent of Singapore kerosene exceeds 6,000 yen, the surcharge will be applied. If the average price falls below 6,000 yen, the surcharge will not be applied.
