I have an one way avios ticket booked from Tokyo to Heathrow next Aug. As we couldn’t book 3 J tickets on same flight, we have to travel on separate flight BA6 and BA8. Seatspy notified availability on the day I am going to travel so went to check and realised that the cost has changed. Sorry if I missed something that already covered here.
The ticket I paid a few months ago:
110000 Avios + £ 285
100000 Avios + £ 335
90000 Avios + £ 385New price
110000 Avios + £ 202.10
100000 Avios + £ 262.10
90000 Avios + £ 315.33
Government, authority and airport charges Per adult
Passenger Service Facilities Charge (Int’L) – Japan GBP 16.00
International Tourist Tax – Japan GBP 5.40
Total government, authority and airport charges* GBP 21.40
British Airways fees and carrier charges Per adult
Carrier imposed charge GBP 180.70
Total British Airways fees and carrier charges GBP 180.70
Total GBP 202.10Japan, happily, is one of the countries that regulates the carrier surcharge, aka YQ/fuel surcharge. It changes every 2 months based on actual market variance of the benchmark, Singapore Kerosene.
Japan regulates YQ / fuel surcharge (set every two months based on a benchmark index), so will always be a variable element in the pricing.
Thanks for the explanation.
Sorry for the duplication, seemed like first reply didn’t send.

Interesting – I didn’t know it changed that often. Learn something every day etc 😉
I assume exchange rate may also be a factor? (The yen has gone from around 160 ¥/£ a few months ago to 185 now. Which is nice.)
Indeed.
