If you fly back Sunday 19th you won't actual back home until late on 20th assuming you do a B2B at OTP. You cannot do the return TATL until the Sunday at the earliest although could fly to JFK on the Saturday, You might be able to do a late arrival into LHR on 20th and then complete the OTP on the 21st?

One suggested itinerary would be:
13/8
OTP/LHR AA6358 d8.30
LHR/JFK AA6136 d14.30
JFK/LAX AA185 d21.30

14/8
LAX/{HX AA767 d6.00

19/8
PHX/LAX AA3196 d6.00
LAX/JFK AA2 d9.00
JFK/LHR AA6212 d21.05

20/8
LHR/OTP AA6649 d11.40

I've used the AA codes but the OTP/LHR/JFK flights are on BA metal. Currently pricing up on matrix at £1396
...thnx Madfish...I need more practice with Matrix. I kept getting a higher fare when requesting routing via LHR...will look into this.
