I was close... $85.31
Finally booked it via BAs SIN office. Waiting time to connect was around 20 minutes.

Someone asked how I found availability...via united.com.
UAs cost for the award would be 30,000 Miles and $38.60.

I wonder if UA eats some of the fees, surely they appear to all be payable to the respective governmental authorities.

Per ITA

USDA APHIS Fee (XA) $5.00
US Immigration Fee (XY) $7.00
US Customs Fee (YC) $5.50
Irish Passenger Charge (UP) $21.10
EI YQ surcharge (YQ) $19.90
Irish Inspection/Pre-Clearance Charge (UQ) $9.30
US International Arrival Tax (US) $17.50

So about $83.93

Trying to see if its wprth flying LHR-DUB (4.5K Avios + $27.50 RFS) + SFO-DUB

vs
LHR-LAX-SFO AA 20K Aadvantage (off peak) +$203.60 USD
