Qantas will increase the fuel surcharge on all flights shared with partner airline Emirates, with the new fees adding up to $50 to the cost of a one-way ticket.
The higher charges will be imposed on Qantas tickets issued from January 23 and vary depending on the destination and class of ticket.

One-way economy tickets will rise by an average of $13 and premium economy an average of $25, while business and first class will see an average $40 lift.
The biggest increases are on business class and first class tickets to Europe, the UK, North Africa and the Middle East, with travellers up for an extra $50 each way.

However, the cost of tickets on Qantas flights which are not part of the Qantas/Emirates alliance – such as flights to the USA, Hong Kong and South Africa – will not change.
