I've seen DTW/LAS RT for less than $798 with a FCM fare before.

Paying $500 to fly to LHR is a no brainer. Just the flat bed seat and ability to sleep is worth it alone
The $798 amount would depend on what you paid for the original ticket, at least for me... if the original Y ticket only cost $400-$500 then adding $798 r/t trip for F would work for me... $1200-$1300 r/t in F on that route seems like a deal IMO. If the original Y fare was $1k+ then maybe not so much. Good luck on the UG!
