Last week we told you that British Airways planned to increase it's fuel surcharge on April 8th. Looks like they are going to do it again on April 14th.

Here is the test of an email we received today.

 Effective tomorrow, April 14, 2011, British Airways will increase the fuel surcharge for all tickets issued in North America (the US and Canada) for travel originating from these areas to Europe - except Spain. 

The changes are as follows:

US/Canada to Europe (except Spain)
The fuel surcharge will increase:
US - Europe: $10USD one-way in World Traveller (economy) and World Traveller Plus (premium economy) and $10USD one-way in First and Club World
Canada - Europe: $20CAD one-way in World Traveller and World Traveller Plus and $20CAD one-way in Club World and First.

The new fuel surcharge levels are detailed below and are one-way:
