God no. That's just insanely expensive.

I'm used to off season $300 fares JFK to LHR in years past before all the bahksheesh was imposed/raised to current levels--so I don't think $600 for a leisure ticket (unless in high season) is a good deal.
couldn't agree more... i was used to some very nice $300 fares and looking back over this past year, seen taxes obliterate that.
