But surcharges -- not "taxes" -- will also be very high on Avios redemptions on any AA TATL flight. If you want to avoid those surcharges, you'd have to fly AB -- not AA -- from somewhere in the U.S. (LAX, ORD, JFK, MIA, or RSW) to Germany, and then BA from Germany to LON. But each flight you add will cost more Avios.

There aren't surcharges on AA flights.
