LIN-LHR-JFK-SEA is a steal at ~GBP1500, which is the typical WT+ fare.
But annoying that the JFK-SEA seams to book into I class (Business) even though it'll be First in reality (two-class 737) so 140 TPs not 210.

it's a quirk that's been there a while. Domestic F books into i class on ba.com but A class on AA.com.
If you don't want to upgrade with Avios, it's worth it for the TPs.
Another quirk of these sales is that LCY-JFK is usually excluded if you book on BA but allowed on AA.

Thanks everyone, just saved myself 100,000 Avios points 
Had booked LHR - JNB / CPT - LHR in business using Avios but managed to get the same flights for £1450 via AMS.

No availability for the dates I'm traveling in F. I'll save the Avios for upgrading WTP fares, or doing a trip from ZRH to EDI in the future.
Of course, I suppose there's always the chance of an AUP...

Also HEL-JFK-HEL flights on AY metal are on sale, 666€/direction, that is actually 140 TP/direction i.e. 280 TP for the whole trip, too bad for the 7 day stay over, otherwise might have been tempting to make a small TP run in J.
