OTHER THAN flying through London, does anyone have suggestions for where we could/should fly to out of DBV to get a OneWorld reward flight home to NYC on 6/26? (The flight from DBV to the OneWorld gateway city doesn't have to be with OneWorld, and I assume we'd use a low cost carrier.) We're very open to leaving DBV a day or two before 6/26 in order to have a couple nights at whatever this gateway city would be.

We will be traveling with a very small child, so we have a strong preference for minimal connections. We're also looking for U availability, though that's not 100% required (i.e., could do Z or even T, if necessary). Most of our miles are with AA, though we still have some BA miles left from the BA Visa promo from last year.

As of right now, flying DBV on a low cost carrier to one of the London airports (Stansted, Luton, Gatwick) and then shuttling over to Heathrow (with or without a night or two in London) seems to be our only options. Given how much time we've previously spent in London, we were hoping for something more inspired. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Many thanks for any advice.
