Some folks are surprised, but the only really new thing is differences between J&F. From 7 years ago:
Fuel surcharge FAR higher on 2 one-ways vs return!
To see even bigger numbers, look at LAX_LHR-BOM or other similar routings. If it's the same as back then, the YQ was based on LHR-xx or xx-LHR and was additive by LHR segment. So what's the Max YQ now on a real route? LAX-LHR-BOM I'm guessing is close to $4k.

2 x one ways of US-India would be $500 + $186 for a total of $686 in business or 1st class ( less than the one way surcharge for 1st class from US-UK )
There is variation between business and 1st surcharges on some routes, not all

For ex-US redemptions with BA (obviously connecting via LON), are there known regions/airports where the YQ is lower than just going to LON?
I am trying to use a Chase 241 productively, and the $200 rebate barely dents the $3,103.38 taxes/fees for two people for JFK-LHR in CW.

Wow. That USD 1,550 per person in taxes and fees alone exceeds the entire CW ticket cost of what can be achieved when flying that trip the other way around starting ex-EU or INV.
