I know it's Friday the 13th, but reading this you would think April Fools...Saver Award on AA metal to Europe in J. Waiting until 30 days out you might find something.
AA has a terrible European network, let alone their own limited European destinations on AA metal. They will force you through LHR, on BA, providing you the additional benefit of shelling out for the absurd fuel charge.
Better off on Star Alliance or Sky if frequenting Europe.
