Some good promotional £600-700 fares on Iberia for PE (and some J) to the US, connecting via MAD. Work fine for single/double open-jaws. Some on Iberia website, others available on on Expedia / eBookers / other OTAs
I booked CPH-MAD-ORD / SFO-LON for £632 for October 2019
Also various good rates ex-DUB, LIS, VIE, AMS, or into AUS & maybe others, plus returning from NYC, SJC and more. Found one on Expedia at £587 DUB-AUS / SFO-LON
Also saw a mixed J-out, PE-back at £1000ish for CPH-CDG(overnight)-MAD-ORD

Hi!
Me and my wife are planning to go to the US for 8-9 weeks sept - oct. From Gothenburg Sweden, BA is the best choice economic and timewise.
Found WTP tickets GOT (Gothenburg) - LHR - LAX, LAX - LHR - GOT in september and return early nov. A380 to LAX and B787-9 return to LHR, 2 people for £1400 (SEK16000, $1790). What do you think, is that a good price?
In WT with checked bags + 1 extra on the return (shopping...) and seat reservation the price is £260 (SEK3000, $330) less. I need seat reservation in WT because of medical issues and last time I didn't get that for free, but in WTP the seat configuration is 2-3-2 and then I can manage cause I'll either get a window or an aisle seat.
So good or bad?
Thanks Anna

It seems that there is some sort of interesting pricing for WT+ from all over UK to all over USA and Canada in the latter half of this year and beginning of next year.
Google showing prices at £700+, when you go to Momondo or Skyscanner, they are coming up at under £500.

Nashville 7 nights fly-drive ex-London @ £569 per person in WT. Dates chosen were Dec 6-13 on BA website choosing flight + car.
By way of background, I was looking for flights to Huntsville Alabama and BA was not recognising HSV as a destination and AA was quoting £810 for flights only. So looked for alternatives to Nashville and this is what BA came up with. WT+ prices is £1301. WT cabin is were the value is to be found.

Can anyone help?
I booked some of these WTP fares £466 ncl-mia
I am just a bit worried these will get cancelled its almost the same cash i paid just in taxes and fees on my original avios booking.
Does anyone think its ok to cancel my original miles booking now these have been ticketed and i can login to the booking?
Also can these travel agent fares be upgraded with avios?

Cannot speak for Crystal travel, but I have used Travelup around 10 times without incident and they have never cancelled a ticket. Assuming you have already paid Crystal travel as you can see your booking on BA MMB I should think that you are OK to cancel the reward tickets.
I don't believe you will be able to upgrade using Avios on the Crystal tickets, however, you can always try for an upgrade at the airport.

Unless you want the Avios for something else right away, I'd hold tight for a while. You can cancel an Avios booking for a refund of Avios and money less the cancellation fee up to 24 hours before travel, so maybe wait and see if there's any sign of the paid fare being cancelled.
