SIA to include fuel, insurance surcharges into base air ticket price

[flee 5]

SINGAPORE (March 2): Singapore Airlines and its regional subsidiary SilkAir will be folding fuel and insurance surcharges into base airfares, presenting potential customers with a more holistic ticket price at the point of purchase.

This is intended to simplify the fare structure for passengers, stated the national carrier, and will be implemented progressively by region starting March 28 and completed by May this year. Codeshare flights operated by other airlines may still include surcharges.

Excluding compulsory surcharge is misleading.

Except for the high 'credit card surcharge'

It's a tragedy. The decreases in fuel surcharges are far outweighed by the increased cost to buy these miles.
