Help with flying the ITA Matrix tool !

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help with advanced routing codes on ITA Matrix ?

I have a window of opportunity between assignments at the end of March 2015 and am thinking of a shortish trip to the US West Coast. Having been reading this forum for a while now, I want to try and make the trip a good TP earner, so in particular I plan to fly:

1. Transatatlantic in BA J or AA/US Business
2. Transcon in AA/US First
3. Ex-EU (AMS would be best, but DUB, CPH etc. fine)
4. On the BabyBus from LCY-JFK and vice versa
5. On AA JFK-LAX or US via PHX

Now, to search I have set up my Matrix origin and destination as DUB and LAX, my dates for a month from 22/03/15, my length of stay as 7 nights, and my cabin as business class or higher and the advanced code strings I used are:

Outbound:
LCY,JFK,PHX ~LHR ~PHL / alliance oneworld

Inbound:
PHX,JFK,LCY ~PHL ~LHR / alliance oneworld

but it insists on giving me flights with a DUB-PHL or LHR-JFK sector !!

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks for all your help !!
