I looked at what a pair of fully flex first returns to SIN would cost on those dates and it was significantly less.
I just could not believe the price that BA was asking for these tickets to MIA.
The price to LHR is £219.52 the other 20,000 is taxes, and fees, and surcharges, etc. etc. just because your going through London.

That's the British way of doing things.
