My understanding is that there is no fuel surcharge when redeeming BAEC miles on LAN (even TATL), and no fuel surcharge on any carrier -- including BA -- ex Brazil. Is that correct?
From recent experience:

Booking an economy one way GRU-LHR on BA using miles incurs £20 extra charge, but flying the other way the extras are about £180.

Booking a one way J award on LAN SCL-GRU also has about £20 extras.
