Need help in booking a flight from NYC to London (LHR). Traveling at the end of July for a week, but finding rates to be pretty high at the moment. I have approx 35000 (small timer here) miles on OnePass that I can use, but I think it will probably only cover one way. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think you posted in the wrong thread. This thread is for premium class deals (i.e. first and business class).
You should read the stickies in the Continental forum for help on using your OnePass miles.
Just booked LHR-BKK in EK F return, about $2700, including A380. Only a few hours left to take advantage of this fare, as it must be ticketed by June 30. Booked through netflights.com. First attempt on website failed because it's a US card, but received a call from them almost immediately and a real agent issued the tickets on the phone. Much better CS than expedia!

Co doesn't have one way awards - you'd need 50k if those were available for Y. Since you've posted this in the premium thread, I assume you're looking to sit up front - those would be a minimum of 50k each way IIRC.
Now since you did put this in the premium thread, I see $2036 AI r/t in BF for multiple dates for a one week stay from July 13 on (CO's BF sale). In the back, I see $846 ai, with some lower fares on other carriers out of JFK.
Not sure what you're really looking to do. Note that you have enough miles to upgrade one way on the $846 fare, but you'd have a $450 co-pay + the miles... totally not worth it when you could pay 2k to sit up front both ways and earn the extra miles as well.
the fare is there. it's 30 day advance purchase and 7 day min stay
i can see it for Aug 24-31
also, you can do bos-sfo-fra-maa RT for $3495 ai... not too bad... especially if you already want to go to MAA and it's SWU upgradable as the LH Z fare
and... works from JFK also for $3275... and PS from JFK to SFO
$3579 from MCO
$3475 from IAD
$3288 from JFK-BOM (JFK-SFO-FRA-MAA)
also works for BLR

also works to HYD/CCU ... with creative routing you can get 50+k EQMs easily
