Credit to the Premium Fare Deals forum, looks like you can get WTP returns from Heathrow to Houston for £810 (maybe slightly more if stay is less than a week). Seems to work for various dates Oct-17 to Mar-18 on Google Flights. Seems like quite a good deal to me for the length of flight and given it's a London departure.

Some pretty tasty exJER economy flights around - an example below. Need to fiddle around but if you're willing to chuck a few Avios you're gonna get a real steal.
Also no dropping last leg

Some more examples I just found :
JER-JFK-LHR 5 Sept- 18 Sept 188 GBP (initially found on SF, but adapted below)
JER-LAX-LHR 21 Feb-28 Feb 216 GBP
JER-MIA/JFK-LGW 208 GBP 4 April - 11 April
and lots of other USA destinations. It looks like its an issue with the IB flight codes pricing lower than their BA ones. I havent been able to replicate on google flights, but a search on momondo.co.uk brings back some interesting results!

Indeed some very tasty deals from JER at the moment and the prices are even lower if booked through the IB codes.

No, just slightly more. Still a great price for a Thanksgiving break where it seems lots of cities have cheap accommodation rates. Soak up the sales also (Black Friday etc)

Some excellent £170 WT fares from Spain to the Middle East throughout the year.
(i.e. BCN/MAD > LHR > DXB/MCT/AUH)
Even if you're not a fan of B2Bs in Economy/with kids, if you've got a week spare in the Autumn, you could visit Madrid from Sat-Mon and then fly via LHR to the ME for the rest of the week for some sun before heading back home, ensuring you book your final leg to BCN from LGW...
Also bear in mind that you often get great flight+hotel and flight+car deals in places like Dubai, so you could get a very cheap holiday in the sun out of it.

Hi
Has anyone come across a very decent WTP price, ex-EU recently? Before the sale ends.
I need to get to JFK, I'm London based. Dates ideally are Oct 26 - 4 Nov. Jer & Osl seem to come out best. Just seeing if there's a bargain I'm missing?
Thanks

For that weekend you can get to JFK, BOS & LAX for <£400, which is less than half of any of the BA fares straight out of LHR.
In fact you can get a WT+ fare for >£200 less than the WT fare out of LHR.

Check ex-Switzerland (ZRH, BSL, GVA) to places like NYC or BOS - there are sometimes decent deals in WTP for ~£650-850 depending on availability.
