Excellent! Good find. Not that I can use it, unfortunately, but I'm sure some others will. ^

Also - Not any sort of scope for creative routings it seems - fare rules specifically state:

Category 4: Flight restrictions
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST BE ON
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
ANY AY FLIGHT OPERATED BY AY.

So an AA EXP would earn 125% RDM on the fare plus 120% of distance flown for a total of 245%...or am I calculating this wrong. I know the intra-Europe segments are Y. but the long-haul is I class.

125% of Distance, not fare spend.
And also, EQDs are based off of distance, allowing you to earn more EQDs then you're spending.

But, total is 245% on distance for EXP, right?

Grr, I wish this deal had been posted / started just a little bit earlier.

I missed out on booking the LHR-HEL-TLL for £232 at a suitable date (i.e. I don't want to go to Estonia in November) and instead had to settle for £280 in April, which I booked yesterday.

But I want to go London-Asia in May so if I had booked my TLL trip in May it would have fit nicely with this. Oh well it just means more TPs...

I think travel is restricted to Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays only.

On mobile, so screenshot from the EF fare rules:

If you pay for this using Amex Plat MR points, does it qualify for 50% off redemptions for premium cabin using pay with points?

You need the biz plat card to get this benefit. It is processed as a bonus, so you would need to pay in full using points then get 50% back.

Edit: It is discussed here for more details:
