British Airways has confirmed it will increase its fuel surcharge on longhaul services from tomorrow (Tuesday).
There will be no fuel surcharge increase to any British Airways' shorthaul services.
World Traveller and World Traveller Plus tickets will increase by £12 per sector (£24 return). First and Club World tickets will increase by £17 per sector (£34 return). the increase will only apply to bookings made from February 8.
The airline blamed the rise on a 'substantial' increase in the price of oil and a 14% rise in the spot price of jet fuel since the last fuel surcharge increase only two months ago.
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.
