I did not want to waste her time, so don't know if it would even be possible to get tickets for destinations of interest with that type of fuel charge.
If you're referring to the BA fuel surcharges, the rates AS is quoting should be round trip, not each way. I used AS miles to fly RT to Europe in J on BA last year and paid around $375 each in surcharges.
