Found a Flying Blue coach ticket back to America for July for 20,000 miles (plus their fees) to go with my Virgin sale ticket to the UK. Really tough to do, though -- most of their award tickets are 2x+ for July. July is going to be brutal for transatlantic airfares. Be prepared for sticker shock. I did see a few 27,000 mile July Europe award tickets on AA to PHL and beyond, though. Rare to see AA ever discount (even marginally) their transatlantic coach award flights. And even standard award rates seem like a bargain for July.
