- 8/7 AA JFK-TXL-ORY
Note - I excluded all itineraries with BA flights, so I may have missed itineraries that are AA to London then BA to Paris. Still, solid availability for summer 2 months out.
I did the same search for 2 weeks later to ensure it wasn't a fluke (searching 8/17-8/23):
- 8/19 AY JFK-HEL-CDG
- 8/20 AY JFK-HEL-CDG
Strange, I wonder why that won't show up for me. I'll keep trying, thanks.
Would like to avoid BA due to fuel surcharge so I've been excluding those too. Worst case I'll do it one way to lessen the cost, and book UA the other way.

OK, I can see the AY flight on the 19th/20th you found - that's a good option and has a return on the 27th. I also called AA and they show no Iberia space.
Any experience with AY J on A330? Looks like a decent business class from pictures, nothing over the top. Could also try to split it up and do this one way with UA 777 the other way if that product is exceptionally better, but maybe a good idea to keep some UA miles handy.
