JAL to lower fuel surcharge from August 1 2013

Japan Airlines (JAL) announced today that it will lower the fuel surcharge on its international flights for tickets issued in August and September 2013. The new surcharge, which is calculated based on the 2 month average Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel price, will drop from the current Zone G to Zone F. This means for a long-haul flight between US/Europe and Japan, the one-way surcharge will be lowered from USD290 to USD259. So wait till August to issue your tickets if you could.
