Struggling to MFU man-Yul via LHR plus strange prices
ok so there is availability on the dates I am looking for but I noticed the following:
Man-LHR-Yul-lhr-man in Y+ is cheaper by £300 than LHR-Yul-LHR
There is availability for LHR-Yul-LHR to MFU but I cannot book it when I start in Manchester, I just keep getting an error and it will not price it :-/
My friend is travelling LHR-Yul outbound on the same day, but in Y, unsure whether to MFU both ways. It's on a 787 which seems to have a nice cabin, plus I think the price goes up for taxes if I upgrade the outbound leg.

For a UuA from WT+ to CW you should be paying the difference in carrier surcharge - it isn't a tax difference. The carrier surcharge applicable is route specific, generally though the longer the route the more the surcharge. For example starting from the UK the additional surcharge for CW over WT+ for a return to NYC is around £106 so the cost of doing a UuA for a return should be 20k avios and £106, and 10k avios and £53 for a one way UuA.
When I have had WT+ bookings with domestic connections I have never managed to get it to do a UuA via MMB and have always had to call to do it.
