If you're looking for LA...
I am looking at a trip and found this almost too good to be true: from Zagreb to Burbank (not LAX) for £1,261. 680tps if my maths is ok. You do need to put up with a night in Vegas outbound which will be a dreadful hardship to most...

You can also do ZAG-LAX for a few £ less and a few more TPs routing through JFK, but you'd lose an overnight stop in Vegas:
ZAG-LHR-JFK-PHX-LAX-PHX-JFK-LHR-ZAG is widely available at £1,241 for 720 TPs

Good find! I think it's 40+140+40+40 + 40+140+140+40 = 620. The domestic "firsts" book into business class codes now on AA

"ZAG: Very good | Good | Reasonable - ask to use the International Transfer channel on the left side of the passport hall, you need a boarding pass/App. NOTE: New terminal just opened, so this info needs updating".
If you enter this into Matrix you'll get a lot of options at the £1,241 price point (change the length and start date to explore further):

I booked this (OTP-LHR-HEL-LHR-JFK-PHX-PHL-LHR-HEL-LHR-OTP) last night - just for fun. Had to do it with AA over the phone, which resulted in my husband being turned into Mrs, then not one but two typos in his name. 4 hours of too & fro, and eventually sorted (although we now have 4 booking references!!)
Anyone else decided to take the plunge with this one?

It can be booked on AA.com quite easily, if you used the Powertool addon for Matrix.

I spent ages on ITA Matrix, then trying to manually create on AA.com (kept routing me via ORD, with a lot less points.) I did not know about the Powertool addon! We are doing the exact itinerary you suggested on the dates suggested. AA waived the booking fee on request over the phone, too. The total tier points showing is actually 1040 in my BAEC account, and for gold, it's showing we'll earn 44,030 Avios each. We used miles for the LHR to OTP positioning flight, as on those dates, even HBO would have been over £250 each. Thanks so much, @rossmacd for sharing this route. Another GUF2 bagged for me & my husband!
I cannot take credit for this one - someone else posted it originally (not sure who!), but I just worked it into something that can be done over a weekend for those so inclined

Yes, search for the powertools addon - it will save you hours onto contact centres spelling out the exact routing and fare codes you want - I am sure the tool is linked several times in this thread or the BA Tier Points Runs thread.

For more than one passenger (the default) you need to click top left on the script that Powertools adds to the matrix page, click on the number of passengers, change it to 2, and click on confirm in the same box
If you select AA US/UK you will fail at the credit card hurdle unless you have a US card and address
Select AA Europe and you can use a UK based card :-)
