thanks
I dont know what it would be from BOS but recently (last week) did a JFK-LHR trip ( BOS & JFk might not have the same taxes but it can only be a buck or so different)

AA was 40k in miles and $128.60

BA was 50k in miles and $350.83 or some $222 more for FS

almost had to route back via BOS and AA uses a 763 between BOS-LHR and 777s JFK-LHR which have a much better IFE, no idea what BA uses
