I just can't see making this deal work at $724 round trip for CW and especially $610 for WT+. For reference, coach prices are typically around $1100 on that route (non BA). Even a lap child fee would be better than having to pay 3 fuel surcharges.

I'm a BA newbie too. I've tried to check out the charges on the BA site myself but since I don't have any miles yet in my FF account it won't show me any cost totals. So a CW award from Denver to London would come to $724? What would the typical fees and taxes and fuel charges be on an economy award? If it's still around $724 that's a bit ridiculous as I can find regular fares cheaper than that. In this case there's no way I'd waste my time with even a 100,000 mile bonus on their VISA.
