One that I know of is using IB via MAD but that would get me to Lagos, Nigeria only. I don't like it as the flight into LOS lands at night and also I would then have to take Virgin Nigeria to ABV the next day.
They will allow you to use LHR twice as a connection and once as a stopover (> 24 hours) as specificed in the rules of the program. The only downside is that if you are using AA then adding in LHR as a stopover will affect your overall point-to-point mileage for the award.
