Oil hit US$80 per barrel (159 litres/35 gal) today. Betcha a slab it hits US$100 before the Isrealis finish with their neighbours.

Yeeeessss! Very interesting point! It seems the ticket fuel surcharge of $39, an 80% load factor on a DHC8-300, one hour average flight sector - 40 pax at $39 yields around $1,560......... My estimate that has to go very close to the total fuel cost???
Anyone looked at the same fuel surcharge versus the total fuel cost on a B737 Brisbane - Sydney or Sydney - Melbourne?
Is the fuel surcharge in fact, an "under the radar" air fare increase?
International ticket fuel surcharge is $104.
Not expressing an opinion. Just curious........???
