Yeah, no kidding.
Air Canada's fuel surcharges:
YYC-LHR - 4400 miles approx: $281
YYC-NRT - 5000 miles approx: $208
YVR-SYD - 7800 miles approx: $165
It's a scam. Distance and fuel used have nothing to do with it. Oh, and don't forget Aeroplan charging their fuel charge on US flights, which Air Canada doesn't do.
Fuel is part of the cost. There is no reason to have a "surcharge". Fedex/UPS do it these days too. Just raise the darn price. Imagine if tomatoes were $1.09 per pound with a $1.00 per pound fuel surcharge?
