JAL to Increase Fuel Surcharge: Round Trips to Europe and America to Cost an Extra ¥58,000 from Tickets Issued in February Onwards

Japan Airlines (JAL) will increase the international flight fuel surcharge for tickets issued from February 2025.

The price of Singapore kerosene from October to November was an average of $88.60 per barrel, with an exchange rate of ¥151.57 to the US dollar, resulting in a converted amount of ¥13,429.

For tickets issued from February 1 to March 31, 2025, for journeys originating from Japan, the surcharge per one-way trip will be: ¥3,000 for Korea and the Russian Far East; ¥7,400 for East Asia excluding Korea and Mongolia; ¥9,500 for Guam, Palau, the Philippines, Vietnam, Mongolia, and Russia (Irkutsk); ¥15,500 for Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Russia (Novosibirsk); ¥18,500 for Hawaii, Indonesia, India, and Sri Lanka; and ¥29,000 for North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania excluding Hawaii.
