exGERMANY Sale Fare BA ILN4T1S2 to US in Business
Some information below on this sale fare from Germany to the US. I think this does cover multiple US destinations and some example prices are noted below. Routing with two connections in the US is possible so example TP earning can be:
DUS-LHR-PHL-JFK-BOS rtn = (40+140+40+40)x2 = 520 TP
DUS-LHR-JFK-PHX-LAX rtn = (40+140+140+40)x2 = 720 TP
It may be possible to route via HEL (e.g. TXL-HEL-LHR) but I haven't checked that possibility yet.
The fare does cover travel dates up to 31 October 2018 only and has a ticket by date of:
TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED ON/BEFORE 08 FEB 18.
It seems to be available from all starting points in Germany, so DUS, HAM, MUC, FRA, HAM, HAJ, TXL, NUE, STR, and FDH
Example prices (exDUS and all via LHR):
NYC - £1,103
BOS - £1,115
PHL - £1,115
WAS - £1,134
MIA - £1,115
ORD - £1,106
LAS - £1,490

Some other starting points in Germany may be cheaper. Also there has been some comment that OTA prices (esp. German ones lines expedia.de) may be cheaper.
PERMITTED 25 MAR 18 THROUGH 31 OCT 18 FOR EACH TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR.
This one is only for travel up to the end of October.
TRAVEL FROM INBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN THE FIRST SUN AFTER DEPARTURE OF THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR.
This allows positioning for your inbound TATL prior to the Sunday. You can therefore set off from PHX on Saturday arriving in to NYC during Saturday, have a night in NYC night, and then do your TATL on Sunday.
RESERVATIONS FOR ALL SECTORS ARE REQUIRED AT LEAST 14 DAYS EFORE DEPARTURE.
2 TRANSFERS PERMITTED IN EACH DIRECTION FREE
So 2 transfers in Europe and 2 transfers in the US each way. An overnight connection of up to 24 hrs between flights would be counted as a transfer, anything beyond that would be a stopover.
STOPOVERS NOT PERMITTED ON THE FARE COMPONENT.
