Singapore Airlines Award Tickets Are About To Get Cheaper

With fuel prices plummeting, one common question has been why most airlines haven't lowered fuel surcharges. After all, they're super quick to raise these surcharges when oil prices go up, but when they go down they conveniently seem to forget about them.

While lowering fuel surcharges wouldn't impact the actual cost of revenue tickets, it would impact the cost of award tickets for the airlines which do impose fuel surcharges on awards. Some airlines have been in the process of lowering fuel surcharges, including British Airways and Japan Airlines.

It looks like we can add another airline to the list -- Singapore Airlines will be lowering fuel surcharges for tickets issued as of February 26, 2015.

With these changes, we'll apparently see Singapore Airlines fuel surcharges drop between US$5 (S$6.80) and US$83 (S$113) per sector.

Let’s Be Reasonable About Yesterday’s First Class Mistake Fare…

Yesterday many people were able to book a United mistake fare, whereby for ~$50 you could book business or first class from the UK to just about anywhere in the world. You could fly United, Lufthansa, Swiss, or several other partners. I didn't bother posting about it at the time because I figured it was a given that this fare wouldn't be honored (and I was also away from my computer when it was first announced).

The fare could be booked by going to the Danish version of united.com. United had filed the fares correctly, and it seemed to come down to a currency conversion error with their third party software provider.

United has said that they won't be honoring these tickets, and has issued the following statement to USA Today:
