Thank you for the link!
I'd also like to chime in with my relating question!
Can I assume that taxes and fees were miscalculated if i was charged GBP 242 for a oneway DRS-SEA, whereas the same one-way flight on LH only shows GBP 161 in taxes and fees? And why am I being charged an air fare on an award:

FARE CALCULATION : DRS LH X/FRA LH SEA70GBP70END XT
21.5RA8.9DE3.8YC11.2US3.5XA4.9XY4DU

AIR FARE : GBP 70.00
TAX : GBP 105.80YQ 8.70RD 54.2XT
TOTAL : GBP 242.30

Is there an airfare charge for one-way awards? All my other LH award bookings didn't charge an airfare.

And lh.com says:

Immigration User Fee (XY) GBP 4.70
Fuel and Security Surcharge (YQ) GBP 107.90
Passenger Service Charge - Dom. (RD) GBP 8.90
Airport Security Charge (DE) GBP 9.00
APHIS User Fee (XA) GBP 3.40
Customs User Fee (YC) GBP 3.70
Passenger Service Charge - Intl (RA) GBP 13.20
Transportation Tax (US) GBP 10.90
Total GBP 161.70

So the question is, how do I know what they were supposed to charge me? I find the GBP 242 rather unbelieveable. And if I should have doubts and reasons to reclaim some money - who should I best be writing to at BMI?
Thank you and Happy Easter!
