Both inevitable, I am going to the east coast of the US for work in a
few weeks, and I decided that while there I'd slip over to London for a
few days. I've got plenty of FF points to do it, but it was a bit of a
shock to get the bill for taxes and charges (the FF points don't cover
them) - $574!

Jeeze, it isn't that long ago that you would pay less than that for the
whole fare.

Have you priced the fare - that seems a little steep!

Considering that fares are cheaper from NY to Syd if bought in the US.

I'm flying from BOS to LHR and back. The going rate at the time that I
am flying is just over $US 1000.
