Japan Airlines raise fuel surcharges to $400 amid weak yen, with relief expected in September

Summary

Japanese airlines ANA and Japan Airlines have increased fuel surcharges to up to 65,000 yen (~$400) for long-haul flights from North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania, despite falling jet fuel costs in Asia. The surcharges are revised bi-monthly and are expected to drop for flights purchased in September and October, reflecting average jet fuel rates from June and July. Additional travel costs also rose on July 1, including departure taxes (from 1,000 to 3,000 yen) and visa fees (from 3,000 yen). The high surcharges are exacerbated by the yen hitting a 40-year low against the US dollar.
