British Airways has blamed continuing high oil prices for a decision to raise fuel surcharges from Friday.
The surcharge for short haul flights will increase by £3 a flight (£6 return) from £10 per flight (£20 return) to £13 per flight (£26 return).
The fee for long haul flights of less than nine hours will increase by £10 (£20 return) from £53 to £63 per flight (£126).
The surcharge for long haul flights of more than nine hours will increase by £15 per flight (£30 return) from £64 to £79 per flight (£158 return).
The new rates will apply to all tickets issued from May 2.
BA will also increase its fuel surcharges by similar levels in markets outside the UK.
