No big deal. Flights to Tampa are over £300 more than I paid in 2015. With the dramatic reduction in fuel prices this looks more like a con than a sale to me.

In order to guarantee stability in ticket prices airlines buy the equivalent of 'futures' in aviation fuel; ie they have paid for the fuel they're using today at a guaranteed price (regardless of current market price) many months (or even a year) ago. Just because the price of brent crude dropped yesterday doesn't mean air fares immediately follow.

Fuel surcharges are nothing to do with the cost of fuel. Its just another con airlines use. Simon Calder attempts to explain here

Yeah BA. How's about passing on those cuts in your fuel bill, huh...
No bargains to be had here IMO.

They won't pass on fuel savings as they'll have hedged their fuel years ago! It's not like pulling into Tesco forecourt.

Careful if you try and get a refund. BA decide how much they want to refund you, if anything. I got a partial refund of £200ish and they kept £500.
