I would also be checking the AA web site for the routing you are looking for. I think you could get a non consolidator fare and get miles for the fare you are talking about (of course I don't know when your trip is planned. Good price if it is summer, high if off season. Given that you are looking at 40,000 miles for a ticket, I think you are talking about off season. Check around. I think AA is having a spring sale to europe.
