As you could imagine, it is a very uncommon
maneuver for carriers to reduce charges to save international travels money.
However, Japan Airlines (JAL) appears to be doing just that.
JAL has sent a formal request to the Japanese
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and tourism (MLIT) for approval. If
passed, fuel charges will be lowered on all JAL
flights, domestic & international passenger flights that were ticketed
between the 1st of August and 30th of September, 2012.
The surcharge levels are based off of the
Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel, and are applied bimonthly based on the
average price per barrel. North American travelers can expect ticket prices to
be effected by up to $265 per round-trip. Surcharges will be reassessed at the
next bimonthly period.
