Google flights shows me that $408, but always with a two-stop (LGW, JFK) return and the last leg on AA. Rather pay $433 and have it one-stop both ways all on BA; assuming crediting to AA, you'll get better EQD/EQM earning that way since it'll be distance-based. Also, ITA won't show me the $408 no matter what I tell it...its lowest is always the $433.

Looking at that $433 option though (which is seriously $34 in fare and the rest taxes/fees), there are actually 2 transfers allowed...possible you might be able to build something that goes quite a bit further:

Category 8: Stopover restrictions
NO STOPOVERS PERMITTED.
Category 9: Transfer restrictions
2 TRANSFERS PERMITTED IN EACH DIRECTION FREE
2 FREE IN EUROPE IN EACH DIRECTION.
AND - 2 TRANSFERS PERMITTED IN EACH DIRECTION FREE
1 FREE BETWEEN AA/AY/BA/IB/US AND AS IN LAX/PDX/
SEA IN EACH DIRECTION
1 FREE BETWEEN AA/BA/IB/US AND AM IN MEXICO IN
EACH DIRECTION
1 FREE BETWEEN BA AND AC IN CANADA IN EACH
DIRECTION
1 FREE BETWEEN AA/BA/US AND WS IN CANADA IN EACH
DIRECTION
1 FREE BETWEEN AA/AY/BA/IB/US AND HA IN HAWAII
IN EACH DIRECTION
2 FREE BETWEEN AA/AY/BA/IB/US AND AA/AY/BA/IB IN
NORTH AMERICA IN EACH DIRECTION
FARE BREAK SURFACE SECTORS NOT PERMITTED AND
EMBEDDED SURFACE SECTORS PERMITTED ON THE FARE

You can fly from OAK to avoid the change of airport between LHR and LGW as well. It even gets cheaper that way, I saw May 9 - May 16 for $398 pp.

Is there a link for this? I am not sure of the stops, I looked on Google Flights

Works rather well in WT+ at $849 with 260TP too (if points are your thing): http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premi...r-t-260tp.html
