More people just spouting back what youtubers say. They only release 1F/1J per flight and its difficult to get and not everyone wants to always do a trip to japan.

Did they discount the points and double the taxes between Uk and USA?

Are discounts available if it’s US-UK-elsewhere or has to start and end in either US or UK?

Its not really taxes. Its huge fees they tack on as if they are taxes. Same goes for the return flights. The UK does have a high ticket tax on Upper class. But Virgin marks it way up.

I think you still get a benefit if the layover is in UK. I saw SFO to BOM in September that was 45k for PE, down from 65k when I booked literally last week.
