Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

Quote:A Nova Scotia man is questioning why Air Canada charged him almost $800 in extra fees, including a fuel surcharge of $697, for a ["free"] flight he booked with Aeroplan miles... 

In the booking for the ticket he eventually used, Ardern had to pay a total of $781.30, of which $697 showed up as a fuel surcharge, he said...

Airline passenger advocate Gabor Lukacs said the term fuel surcharge is simply a euphemism for charging passengers more money...

The surcharges are much less common than a few years ago, but in any case it appears that they have been renamed "carrier surcharges" for AC, at least.

Aeroplan flights aren't "free" (nor are they advertised as such), same applies to other FF programs.  Sadly the availability is much less and the fees are much higher than, say, 10 years ago.
