Potentally better: AMS, RTM, CDG, ORY
Ah! New one for me. That works but coming up as £1797 lowest.

Is this dead? On the simplest of routings the ITA calendar search shows €911 minimum fare.

I meant more an error by me, rather than it being an error fare!

Mistake on my part - it's jfk-lhr-cdg. The transatlantic home is actually on AA 772 - anyone know the chances of this being the retrofitted ones - tried to research this but no luck working out chances.

I will not be dropping the last leg, need it for 600 TPs, will have dinner in Paris and get the train back to london!

Just a thought - the BA flights will be AA flight numbers but BA metal, does this still count towards the 4 BA flights required for silver?

Yes. BA operated or marketed count as eligible flights.

If you fancy trying longhaul J on 3 carriers for <£1400

Can mix and match and do all BA for about £1250.

AA have a bunch of ads in London that say guaranteed aisle access on all business class flights to London. So fairly good I'd say

Ugh. Remember flying on those a couple of years ago on the Christmas ex-PAR fares. A strong headwind means the chances of a divert are high - the flights for the 3/4 days before mine all had a bonus stop (Bangor I think).

BTW, has anyone tried NYC-MAN-HEL-CDG on return?

I've had a couple of substitutions over the summer - one from new to old 777-200 which mean sloping seats and a 777-300 to 777-200 which meant a crap seat just in front of Coach, but still flat. No compo in either case of course.

The ex-PAR/AMS/RTM sale seems to have lapsed - can anyone else find a fare?

No it hasn't. I have just priced one up on BA.com.

Still there, found AMS-SJU-CDG for £700 in Feb/Mar

Now, how do I code ITA so as I can get the Baby Bus from LCY-JFK - or vice versa?

Or IB from MIA to MAD, of v-v?

£687 going RTM-LCY-JFK-MIA-SJU-MIA-JFK-LCY/LHR-CDG

The difficulty is finding availability in I class on the 318.
