My OH would prefer a run to the US/Canadian West Coast (incl Hawaii), spending a few nights there. I'd prefer not to spend more than £1400 each on the flights. .
My vote would be to see what the QR sale throws up in the next week or two, and be prepared to head East as opposed to West, and to have a positioning flight (on BA metal) to start the journey. This will help you hit the 4 flight requirement which you need to do anyway.
I believe at present you could get something in your price range if you were prepared to go East, but the sale is probably worth the wait.
