40K miles would be $876 for 2, 110K $2124, both plus excise tax and a small transaction fee.
Since the OP had already booked a BCN-PHL award for the return, there should be no need to purchase any miles. Just re-deposit the miles associated with the BCN-PHL awards (for a fee), and use them for LON/DUB/BRU/CDG-PHL instead. @:-)
