Yeah, that kind of stretches the definition of "sweet spot".

"BA F is good value because you're paying less than a thousand dollars in carrier surcharges and taxes for a round trip first class seat! And you get a London stopover!"

If you originate in INV on a BA F one-way to the USA, though, check out what it does to the surcharges and UK APD... if you'd like a "good deal" involving BA F and would like to visit the Scottish Highlands.

"EK F is good value because it's only 450,000 miles round trip to Australia! And I have family I can visit in Dubai!"
