well, when you're working from a $4500 baseline, "deals" are pretty easy to find.
You didn't clearly indicate if you have a budget or if you're on expense. You also didn't indicate if you are willing to fly Y but stick with *A (and get your 100% status miles).
It's pretty easy to find deals via ORD or LHR... here is one that required no work at all, so I wouldn't exactly consider it a deal. Expedia, Travelocity, ITN all should be easy to book something that meets your needs. If you want to force a higher fare basis for upgrading purposes, you may need the assistance of your TA, this should help. Have a good trip!
