AA has options beyond LHR because you are not limited to one partner. If you want to fly to Europe on AA using AS Mileage Plan, you can only get to AA's European gateways. At this venture, award seats on AA are pretty sparse, but not non-existant.
I just booked two awards to/from Europe, not on BA for next July outbound, August return.

Thanks, James. I was looking for Milan to Pdx through JFK. Then I was just looking for Milan to JFK, even in economy. I have checked every day since the summer for on or around my dates and it has never been available. I bit the bullet and booked BA with two stops, at least it is in PE. Plus it sounds like they are adding back LHR-Pdx so I will likely change it. I understand everyone is trying to go next summer to Europe, I wasn't looking for J in particular. After the response above I have mostly decided to stick to the "Flame Free" thread, LOL.
