Flying a triangle would be safer, but either way I can't see great value in giving up your whole day and $700+ for 120 or maximum 160 TPs.

Also bear in mind that any AA itinerary you book now for June is at risk of being kiboshed by schedule changes.
Thanks for the suggestions.

That was the theory I'd reached too, but was hoping there might be a more optimistic view I'd missed!

I can earn 160 TPs by doing LGA-BOS-LGA-BOS-LGA but then I'll have to cross New York at rush-hour and hope I make it back to to JFK!

Think I'll have to try and do a couple of trips from London instead, before July.
