Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Club RFS taxes increase on SIN/PVG?

  • 87 posts

    I read the HFP article about increases in the RFS charge. Eg. NYC was £350 and is now £375. I was looking at flights east to Singapore and the RFS taxes are coming up at £625 per person. I can’t remember for certain – but I think when I was looking at SIN flights a few months ago it was only about £300-£400 per person. A £25 rise on NYC seems fine, given rising costs, but the SIN rise seems huge?
    Is there a list anywhere of RFS fees for long haul? ( I searched but could not find one ).

    Singapore was £300 each way.

    No worries.

    Finnair to Singapore might be worth considering, as the taxes are very low, 125k plus around £80 return according to the article below. Obviously, you can’t use an Amex/Barclaycard voucher, and have to get to/from Helsinki, but it’s not much extra avios, even if you were going to use a voucher on BA.
