Even there, you're better off just buying a ticket with points-for-cash (at 1.6 cents with the Prestige) since DFW-DCA is often more-or-less $400, I believe.

Am I missing something?

Another value could be from the East Coast of the US to Europe in F/J. Those rates compare favorably with BA's new peak prices, LH M&M, and UA (especially for *A partner metal).

That happens to be my award goal so I'm thrilled that they've added QF, but if you're interested in something else, I don't see a great deal of value.
