Since oil proces have been falling for almost 2 months now (since July 11) what's the chances of fuel surcharges being lowered any time soon.

Just an update - when I posted this oil was at USD110, it has just hit USD90. I'm guessing that airlines renewing hedges now will be sitting pretty.

Slightly off topic, but why with the price of oil still falling have quite alot of petrol stations in London increased their prices by a penny this week. Petrol is still only 7p less than it's peak price when oil was $145.[V]

In Australia they have slashed the fuel surcharge on flights to London, not sure if this works both ways though.

AC and WS have dropped their fuel surcharges now, but no I don't think in the near term we will see VS (or BA) dropping theirs.

So its not likely that if announcements are made of surcharge drops that it would make pre booked flights after that date any cheaper. That would seem a little unfair[:?]

.....if they just included the fuel surcharge in the actual advertised cost of the flight (after all, its not like there is any option to pay the charge, so how can it possibly be termed an extra), then this entire discussion would be irrelevant. Come on VS, get it together (and guess what - they could increase the fuel surcharge a bit and NOBODY WOULD NOTICE!)
