That’s not a typical example though (and you’d need to keep it as a separate booking to stop BA recalculating the surcharges in their favour).
F pricing from JFK, for example, starts at 80k avios plus £813.
Hmm, wonder why the taxes are so high *from* JFK? It seems odd that a flight that’s almost twice the length would be far cheaper.
