I know this is a late Thank You, but I appreciate the input... my plans, however, have changed and I have yet to book.

I no longer need to stop in LHR, and can theoretically connect anywhere that gets me to LCA with the minimum amount of stops, travel time, and costs. I'd still like two weeks in LCA and would be looking to be home by Friday, Sept. 25th - so maybe 9/10 through 9/25 give or take

It looks like the easiest way is still through LHR, but that's on BA and would incur substantial fees. AA metal would mitigate fees, but I don't have enough for two tickets.

I've tried looking through the ANA tool, but haven't had much success.

I'd really appreciate some help now that the constraints have improved. My miles balances are more or less the same but Starwoods is around 40k now.

Thanks in advance.
