Oneworld: Italy and various EU to New York in club €1250

Similar to the Skyteam Madrid deal, this has wide open availability connecting thru any of LHR/MAD/ORY/DUB. Seems to book into I.

Sample flights: https://www.google.co.uk/flights/#se...;tt=m;sc=b;s=1

I tried a few other US destinations but couldn't get a similar price, I'm sure someone else can tweak.

Trying to work an itinerary with a longer flight on the return (more miles and longer experience in J)

​​​​E.g

FCO - NYC
NYC- MIA
MIA- FCO

Mid February

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks,

Premier01

Does this allow stopovers? I'm looking, ideally, for a XXX-LHR-JFK-MIA-LHR-XXX with a stopover in both JFK & MIA.

Thanks,

Great fare. It'd be great if *A would match

Need some help booking this.
When I click the book now link in GF it takes me to a blank AA booking page.
I enter the same airports and dates and the AA search only shows me BA flights that are twice as expensive?

I don't know why it wont take me to bookaa.amadeus.com?
tried IE and Chrome
Cheers.

Last year when I tried to do CDG-ORD (23:55 connection)-EWR¦stop¦LGA-PHL-CDG which met all the fare rules (on a super discounted priced J ticket) which worked on google flights and ITA but seemingly wouldn't stick on all the usual online booking services (AA, expedia etc) at the suggestion of someone on here I called AA who very efficiently booked and ticketed it and waived the £10/ticket telephone booking fee because it wouldn't price on the internet.

Interesting, I also called and they, AA, can see only one of the IB flights ex AMS and ex JFK, pity but it mans a long layover in MAD on the return and an early start out of AMS

FYI and a data point, I searched the same flights and dates from my iPhone and was able to directly link to the correct booking page on AA? weird, so I installed safari on my win laptop, failed same problem with link. Fired up the old iMac and was also able to book directly online? Craziness.

Any how in the end I need to book via call centre as Im trying to change a existing super cheap flight I booked (thx to this forum) RTM-ORD, so as long as I keep the country the same I can change so AMS-JFK is doable.
My concern now is total cost of my original ticket 880 USD, new ticket with fees and fare difference 1576 USD, still a pretty good price, however my goal is to get to west coast USA?

Do I
A: Hold off till closer to departure (20th Feb) in hope of a good OW sale to west coast USA from Netherlands?
B: Bite the bullet and book now to JFK? (risky if my plans change again, more money lost)
C: No show and forfeit 880 USD
D: See if I can somehow scam a refund from AMEX for original booking?

ARGHHH damn you FT premium fare deals thread for making me book great deals ;-)

EDIT:
Oh and
E: Quit my job and just fly the original booking? )))
