I am using that for SJU-NYC (stop 3 months) NYC-Zurich for 20K AA.
I totally didn't think about using the one way on AA. However it'd require me to stopover in JFK (or MIA) and continue on from there. I think only JFK makes sense being in DC since I'd need to get back home and return there to go to Europe. I have a couple questions that maybe you can answer I posted here:
