So based on the cost for adding either cdg or fco, i'll be payng about 19k avios for two people plus 200 in taxes and surcharge. I can book separate flghts from lhr to fco for 7500 plus 22.50, might be better than to book
2-4-1? Or am i not understanding that suggestion? Again, thx for all you guys help and patience!
Try the dummy booking as 2 one-ways.
SFO-LHR 75k + $460
FCO-LHR-SFO 90k + $318 (less if you do FCO-LHR in Y, you'd still get lounge access in FCO)
You should avoid UK APD altogether this way, and it's 15k extra miles.

Reason: EDIT: The avios you pay once of course, the taxes are per person.
