I am going to be short about 24k for EXP this year ... Does anyone have ideas for an AA mileage run from Europe, out XMas day back ASAP?

I'm based in London, but given how cheap BA is fly around now connecting to CDG, BRU or ZRH isn't any problem.

Ideally, it would be three long segments so I can use my VIPOWs. I thought of LHR->LAX->DFW->NRT 3-day r/t; but it prices around £1200.

A travelling companion would be nice too (my wife is not quite mad enough to accompany me :-))

Thanks,
