This is what is known as a Gold Priority Reward. They require a lot of Avios. Any revenue seat can be redeemed by a Gold for 2x the highest Avios + lowest cash redemption price.
It used to be select any combination of cash and Avios, which allowed for the lowest Avios to be doubled, however that was abolished.
Expensive in Avios terms, almost ludicrous, but not quite. And half of the Avios can be refunded if normal availability opens up.
To be clear, only the Avios doubles. The cash stays at 1x.
