How to 'save' money but still pay the same airfare, Qantas style;
Qantas has cut fuel surcharges on its international flights in a move that will save frequent flyers money but won't reduce fares.
Following a similar move from rival Virgin Australia last week, the airline has announced it will lower the fuel surcharge on flights to up to 200 destinations worldwide.
But the move doesn't mean Qantas passengers will pay less.
That's because what the airline is really doing is restructuring its prices so that base fares are increased to compensate for the lower fuel charge.
