Not sure if it helps but I have credit card options including Chase Palladium, Reserve & Ink, Amex Plat, AA Citi Exec. I also have 100k points with American (Gold status, not much) and 80k+ points with Chase ultimate rewards.

Please forgive me if I’ve overlooked any posting etiquette as I don’t post ever. Thank you! )
You are the sort of customer airlines really like; must fly at short notice so will pay what ever it takes. Airlines generally do not discount last minute business fares. Some people just pay the $$$$$.
Just look at google flights & the similar web sites for a cash paid fare


For AA award (they have a $75 close in award fee). Very low chance of an award
A very general guide-->https://www.awardhacker.com/#f=SAT&t...=0&c=j&s=1&p=0

Edit
What are air fares pricing at? (Economy, economy plus & business)
BA fly Austin to LHR non stop
