British Airways is raising its fuel surcharge on medium and long-haul flights for tickets issued from February 25.
The surcharge for one-way flights of less than nine hours will increase by £5 each way, bringing the surcharge to £106 for a return flight.
On flights of more than nine hours, the surcharge will go up by £6 each way, bringing the charge to £128 for a return fare.
Short-haul fuel surcharges will remain at £10 and £20.
The airline blamed the rising price of fuel.
BA usually notifies the travel trade press when charges go up, but made a decision not to do so on this occasion. A spokesman could not give a reason why.
