But - if you are going to do Europe, make sure to NOT connect through Heathrow. The fees are about $1000 per "free" ticket! The fees are about $100 through any other city. Consider Madrid for example

That's not LHR, that's BA carrier imposed surcharge. There is no APD on transfers (i.e., less that 24 hours). Easiest on the same ticket (not charged) but I heard there was a process for getting it back if it's on 2 tickets. Also, arrivals don't pay it.
