I'm in the same predicament as I need to get to the US West Coast in June 2011. I don't think it's worth my while paying £50 or so for a positioning flight to an EU airport, and possibly an overnight hotel stay too, in order to save on £120/£150 APD.
I don't think I have the bottle to try and do a same day EU positioning flight for fear of missing the connection!
