JAL applies fuel surcharge and insurance surcharge on all international passenger tickets. The surcharge applies to JL coded flights including JAL flights operated by other airlines.

We originally introduced Fuel surcharge in response to unprecedented rises. We highly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
