Rising fuel surcharges aren’t just for domestic flights. International travelers are feeling the brunt from fuel surcharges on flights to Europe, Asia, and all over the globe.

FareCompare CEO Rick Seaney, recently broke down fuel surcharges on a range of international routes, and it can be stunning to see how much your paying for an airline ticket before the actual airfare is even worked into the mix.

With Virgin Atlantic increasing fuel surcharges for “Upper Class” seats, it will be interesting to see if other carriers follow suit, and whether or not these additional fees will send even more business travelers to the back of the plane.

Please read Rick Seaney’s Airline Ticket Fuel Surcharges to London for a an in depth look at rising costs on international flights.
