ANA, JAL to slash fuel surcharges

Air travelers in Japan can expect some relief for their pocketbooks this spring. The country's biggest airlines say they are going to slash fuel surcharges for many of their international flights.

All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines say the cuts will be in effect for tickets issued in April and May.

The fuel charges will be slashed by over 60 percent. Consumers can thank lower crude-oil prices.

Airlines add fuel surcharges to international airfares based on fuel prices and review them every two months.
