Updated on November 6th , 2009

The JAL Group 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) and its international subsidiaries JALways.

1. [Fuel Surcharge]

We originally introduced Fuel surcharge in response to unprecedented rises. We highly appreciate your understanding and cooperation. The current fuel surcharge amounts are shown below. Fuel surcharge will be reviewed and revised quarterly. (Please click here for further details of the revision.)

2.[Insurance Surcharge]

To cover the cost of the extra safety and security measures, an insurance surcharge is added to the price of tickets. We highly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
