While that $347.77 includes the BA fuel surcharge, a good part of the charge is the air passenger duty that the U.K. imposes on all U.K. departures. You would have to pay the APD even on an AA award flight from LHR to JFK.
Good point. Just for interest I checked out LHR-JFK on AA and the fees jumped to $184.10. So ..... cheap to enter, expensive to leave. Perhaps they're trying to encourage immigration !
