Visit London like its our home every two years, and ride the Eurostar/Plane to where we really want to visit.. or add a connection to where we want to visit and pay additional fees. Sorry, just typing while I'm thinking here.
Next up, I've got to call central reservations, and see availability for AA rewards and the possibility of travelling to HI.
Finding 4 award seats on one flight is much more difficult but not impossible. Splitting yourselves and finding 4 award seats on different flights (2 on one, 2 on another) will give more options.
Adding a connection will cost more avios, but may reduce fees. LHR departure tax 'Air Passenger Duty' is high. Canada-France return via LHR may reduce the cash component and can be booked with a 241.
There is no need to call AA to find availability, you can search on AA.com for MileSAAver seats which can be booked with avios, and was a response to another thread you've posted in.
