Its £200 per leg and you need to do it as a ITA fare to see it, But most importantly it needs to be the BA fare as in LHR to Destination no mullti stop

Just do it on BritishAirways.com direct. The £647 jumps to £847 for the F seat on select routings. Other routings it's 1000s more.

Cancellation is 150GBP per fare component, so 300GBP for a round-trip. (For info BA moved to this 'fare component' refund basis a year or so ago, the idea being that it would make refunds easier to automate.)

Be careful though: The refund wording varies but generally a refund is available only if you cancel before the first flight. One might interpret the typical cancellation/refund rules I've seen to mean "before the flight" but I've found that they really mean refund if cancelled "before any of the flights".
Caveat #2 : Once you've flown the first flight, changing the return after the sale is over can be very expensive indeed! So be sure of your dates (or cancel and rebook before you begin the trip)
Otherwise, BA seems to have its refund act more together than before. I recently cancelled a round-trip F sale fare on-line, and received the refund (less £300) within a couple days to my credit card. I remember the days of having to "apply" for a refund and it taking weeks!

OK, then I may be misunderstanding what happened to me recently. In January, I bought several LHR-SFO-LHR flights on sale in F at a great price of roughly £2500. On two of the flights, I've had to pay a hefty premium in addition to the change fee to change the return leg, after I'd flown the outbound. Didn't matter what date I changed it to, always several thousand extra fare difference. Of course, with BA hiding the complete fare basis, it's difficult to tell what the fares are based on, beyond the fact that both the new and the old fares were coded as "A".

In the vast majority of cases with BA fares, Once the first flight is taken Historical pricing takes place so it would only be the change charge if there is I class availability (otherwise its the enormous mark up to J) Where this becomes complicated is on other airlines such as QR who sell all there sale and promo fares on R class so in those cases unless you have flown first leg AND there is another sale on creating R class you can't change them , I know this is BA in this case but using that as an example.
