Heathrow-originating flights are bad because of the APD plus high airport charges. But the US is part of the problem. Here's a LHR-JFK breakdown:
UK
United Kingdom Passenger Service Charge (UB) $60.20
United Kingdom Air Passengers Duty (GB) $105.50
USA
USDA APHIS Fee (XA) $3.96
US Immigration Fee (XY) $7.00
US Customs Fee (YC) $5.50
US International Arrival Tax (US) $17.80
