See if you can find Coach award seats on AA nonstops from LAX to DCA, PHL, or BOS. Only 12,500 BA Avios one-way. Then look for JFK/BOS-MAD-BIO-MAD-U.S.A. on IB metal using IB Avios (not BA Avios).

Getting from one East Coast city to another need not cost a fortune: there's Megabus, Bolt Bus, and one-way car rentals.
