Praise for skyscanner - 4pax AMS-SIN-LHR £5.5k
I was looking for a good club deal to Singapore for December , tried the usual suspects via google flights and matrix, but in the end Skyscanner came up trumps with a routing on BA AMS LHR BKK SIN (last leg on CX) returning SIN-LHR direct. I could have saved £800 with a final flight to AMS, but this would have taken up a day of leave and I have 2 youngish kids in tow!
This is about as as cheap as any of the Qatar options but MUCH better flight timings and a direct flight home enabling me to go straight into work. Was able to book over the phone with BA in just a few minutes.

You could always book the flight back to AMS and accidentally miss it. Not condoning, just saying...

Or even better, book it as LGW-AMS and get slightly lost on your tight connection...

I need to visit Thailand & Korea in September. Often it's tricky to get double open-jaws to price out well. I found an interesting option for an open-jaw, outbound in J, back in W, via BA Holidays:
AMS-LHR-BKK (on BA) in J
PUS-NRT/NHD-LHR in Y/WT+
+first night in decent hotel in BKK
Total €1305 = £1107
Found this by searching for WT+ trips, but for some reason some ex-AMS flights price into J. I also tried a couple that routed via HK for a <24hr overnight on route & onward connection on CX in J, but repeatedly got all the way to the payment & got an error.

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?

Hat off. I have never seen the GUFs as that valuable

11 Jul LAX/JFK/LHR/ZAG all for £1,242 in J. Researched on G flights and booked on AA.com. Seemed like a decent result!

Yep - quite a simple 560 TPs lie flat all the way.
There also appears to be no Sat night restriction. Don't imagine it will hang around long in its current form!
