I got DFW-DXB/DOH-BAH in all Prem Econ for $1,044 w/the AARP discount. Using it as a positioning flight AND to satisfy AA Plat Challenge in one shot (with a little extra comfort).

e.g. PRE-AARP discount $1,110:

4:50 pm – 7:25 am+1
Dallas – London · DFW–LHR
British Airways 192 · Premium Economy · Boeing 747
Overnight flight
8h 35m
Layover in London LHR
12h 50m
8:15 pm+1 – 7:10 am+2
London – Dubai · LHR–DXB
British Airways 105 · Premium Economy · Boeing 777
Overnight flight
6h 55m
Flight 2: Doha – Bahrain Island
Wed, Nov 26

You can play around with DOH-BAH, BAH-DOH, AUH-MCT, or MCT-AUH as the last sector as well as into DXB, AUH, MCT, BAH, DOH, & even KWI, JED, RUH, or CAI as the original destination. Usually into DXB works best with BAH-DOH or DOH-BAH as the last segment (but I'm sure "someone" will point out if I'm mistaken).
