Taxes, Fees, Airline Charges

How much does BA charge in total fees etc for an Upper Class avios redemption LHR-MIA Return please?

Currently looking at similar with Virgin and they want over £1,000 in charges per person for the return UC redemption (plus anything from 90,000 to 1 million points depending on the date combinations and luck)

Thanks

There is a comprehensive chart here showing the avios plus cash required for every destination – https://www.headforpoints.com/2025/08/31/how-many-avios-do-i-need-to-fly-to-3/

For Miami, a return in Business would be between 180,000 – 200,000 avios (subject to whether flying off peak / peak) plus £475 per person.

This shows the reward flight saver rate so the least cash option but there are also lower avios / higher cash options too.
