Bangalore (Bengaluru) is outside the UK and EU, so coming back this only applies if a UK or EU airline operated the flight.

Heathrow to Bangalore (Bengaluru) is 8,046 km, which fixes the figure: £520 each leaving Heathrow, and the same £520 each coming back if a UK or EU airline operated the flight. It is per person, so four of you is £2,080.
