PHL-AMS in J - $2100 - BA/US/AA/UA/LH/DL
Just found J tickets for ~$2100 AI out of PHL to AMS for July. Per Google, many options from July-Oct look open at that price. Booking with BA you can use both AARP and Chase discounts.
Looks like some other cities on sale near the same price - BRU,CPH, etc..
I'm flying out Jul 29 - Aug 3, and got $1551 AI RT on BA via LHR.

AMS / BRU wide open from DFW @ $1,850 on most *A.
I chose AC as their P gives 200% Award miles.
Makes this ~15k PQM (12 cpm) & 20k RDM if PQD isn't a big deal...
Even possible for an immediate turn:
07AUG DFW-YYZ AC7486
07AUG YYZ-YUL AC420
07AUG YUL-BRU AC832
08AUG BRU-YUL AC833
09AUG YUL-YYZ AC481
09AUG YYZ-DFW AC7483

I plugged in a DFW-BRU calendar on Google, and despite the apparent language that the fares run through 10/31, the last $1,850 fare is at the very end of the traditional summer season (9/3, the day before Labor Day weekend starts). Also, from DFW it apparently only applies to Star Alliance carriers, despite DFW being an AA hub and IAH being the second-biggest UA hub in the country.
Bizarrely, replacing DFW with any other Texas airport increases the price substantially, and from IAH the price doubles!
