BA ups fuel surcharge on all flights
British Airways has blamed continuing high oil prices for a further hike in its fuel surcharge to a maximum of £218 return for long haul.
The rise will come into force on all tickets bought from today (Tuesday) and will hit holidaying families this summer.
The surcharge for short haul flights will go up by £3 per flight (£6 return) from £13 per flight (£26 return) to £16 per flight (£32 return).
The fee for long haul flights of less than nine hours will increase by £15 per flight from £63 per flight (£126 return) to £78 per flight (£156 return)
The surcharge for long haul flights of more than nine hours will rise by £30 per flight from £79 per flight (£158 return) to £109 per flight (£218)
BA said it will also increase its fuel surcharges by similar levels in markets outside the UK.
These are the latest in a round of fuel surcharge increases imposed by the airline – the last hike was in April.
