Why Your LAX-Tokyo Ticket Just Got $400 Pricier, Even as Fuel Falls

  • Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways are charging record fuel surcharges this summer — about ¥65,000, or roughly $400, each way on transpacific routes — even though jet fuel prices have eased.
  • The reason lies in a lagging government formula and a weak yen, not the price at the pump.
