So, for now, 2x $10K estimates appear to be a bit on the extreme side.

This is consistent with my calculation. Average this year in the high 80s (incuding a P fare to LHR, which is going to have higher proportionate tax than just about any other ticket, and two TPAC W's). That's a spend number just north of $11,000.
