As long as the continents and the direction. I had a AF issued GIG- CDG but flew GRU- LIS with TP instead. It is not included in the agreement we have ( and it is not hidden) KL for example takes the fuel charge even from their own staff. That is how I do it.īad luck for you with the fuel surcharge. If you calculate that you get your best price. I have even traveled with a ZED ticket on non-ZED carriers before!įirst of all check which airline has a ZL(low) agreement. ZED fares are absolutely fantastic for their flexibility - you can travel on almost any airline, and change it to any destination within the same or lower zone. My theory is that if a passenger does not have the option not to pay, then any such costs should be included in the advertised fare (in exactly the same way GST is in New Zealand).Ĭan you then just go to the check in counter of the next flight,Ĭan you also take a flight to a different destination Next time I get delayed and miss a flight there I may seek compensation based on the fact that I am apparently paying for this 'service'. I resent the fact that I have to pay so much in airport tax to go through LHR which is so poorly organised. Airlines or IATA must do something to assist.
The whole tax situation is getting beyond the joke now. This is one reason why I always try and choose EK - they are the only airline with enough balls to correctly classify this as an operational cost which should be part of the ticket.
And of course they don't include any of he government or airport taxes.ĮK now include the fuel surcharge as part of the ticket cost, whereas this is part of other carrier's extra/hidden charges. The ZED fares are set in mileage bands in US dollars, so what you pay in your own currency can vary quite a bit. It's a while since I used this system, but as I recall, ZM was similar to ID90 (depending upon how ID90 is calucated), and ZH was between ID80 and ID75. Not all airlines are in the ZED system, but if your airline has an interline agreement with them, then you will still get either ID90 (nominally 90% off the unrestricted one-way fare), if you're lucky, or ID75 (75% off the unrestricted one-way fare), if you're not - that's the most expensive standby fare, and is often not much less than an internet fare, once you've added in the taxes.
For example, airlines within one World offer ZM fares to each others' employees, so if you work for one of those airlines, where-ever you want to go, the other one World airlines will most likely be the chepest to fly on, standby. If your airline is part of an alliance, that will help. This means that for the same route, there are a variety of fares available, depending upon the interline agreements. You need to understand that the ZED system has two levels of fare, ZM (ZED medium) and ZH (ZED high), and which one you have to pay depends on the ZED agreement between your airline and the airline that you want to fly on.
