Is the only way with one stop CLT -> LHR -> LCA via BA? Paying a bit of money for the surcharges is OK if it cuts out 5+hours of travel time each way.

Yes, LHR is the only airport that has both (1) nonstop flights from CLT and (2) nonstop flights to LCA, so that will be the only 1-stop route. CLT-LHR is on US, so that should reduce the fuel surcharges you'd have to pay.
