Thanks all!
Can you get the breakdown of surcharges? It's unbelievable how big a difference the flight code can make. As part of xONEx I had LHR-HEL, it was BA code on AY metal. I asked it to be changed to AY code so I could get more points in my AY FFP. The additional(!) surcharge would have been GBP154 to change the code. Just to be clear, this would have been the additional surcharge for the segment, not including change fee nor admin fee.

If you can see the detailed taxes and surcharges breakdown, you may be able ask if any of the high ones can be reduced by changing flight code / metal.
