Does anyone know what other destinations are covered by the OSL J and F fares apart from ORD, MIA and LAX?

Seeing £1,790 return on OSL>LHR>LAX>LHR>ARN over the 2nd May Bank Holiday (Memorial weekend) or £1,900 via LHR and JFK in A class on the transatlantic and transcontinental sectors.
Must be ticketed before 4th Feb and valid for travel until 31st Aug 2018, so more flexible with dates vs. OTP>PHX fare.

I live close to OSL and have received a generous severance package from my former employer and a suddenly have the time to fly. California or Las Vegas is perfect as I have plenty of friends around there. I have been looking at
OSL-LHR-JFK-SFO-LAX return in F apr13-apr27 for £2066. This gives 40+210+210+40 x 2 = 1000tps.
I think that sounds like a good deal. Does the routing and price sound OK or should i consider other options?

INV>LHR>ORD>LHR>DUB is available for under £1250 in J during March. I haven’t looked at any other dates as my dates for travel are fairly fixed.

EDIT: just to add the fare doesn't seem to be travel date restricted and the minimum stay is a saturday night.

I am seeing LUX-ICN on BA (via LHR) from around EUR 1530, with the possibility to return to FRA. It appears to be an advanced purchase sale so it may have been reported already.
Not sure if it would be possible to build a stopover in e.g. HKG for a few days so I could get to spend a few days in both Seoul and Hong Kong? Also, for a bit more seems you can fly JAL on one of the legs at least but I am sure you guys can find even better routings
Example:
Thanks. Apologies for the formatting issue, copy paste did not work as intended
. Attached a "clean" screenshot, should it help anyone

Also if stopping off in Tokyo before heading to Seoul I would recommend the HND-GMP JL flights which would be far more convenient for both cities than NRT/ICN.

The "tricks" I've learned - booking premium flights under the current sale
I thought I would share a few significant things I've noticed during December-January, booking ex-US to London and vice versa (In case anyone has not yet booked anything!):
(1) The "sale" is still going on, although I notice that LHR-originated flights to the US have been slowly increasing in price in recent days. Example: a Springtime return flight LHR-SFO-LHR in CW that I booked several weeks ago has gone from about £2350 to just over £3000 today. Still a good price IMHO, and a lot lower then "normal"
(2) Someone wanting to book far in advance to take advantage of the good prices should note that flights in CW are typically Not refundable, however for a few hundred more in each direction, one can book in F and the flights become refundable (200 fee in each direction, not bad). So if you're "pretty sure" about your dates, but not 100%, consider booking in F
(3) Flights from the USA to London have fallen somewhat from their price at the beginning of January - about $3800 return SFO-LHR in CW is what I got a few weeks ago. And they seem to be refundable (for a fee), unlike the LHR-originated flights.
(4) If CW is too expensive, consider booking in WT+ and hope for a pro-active upgrade. I have gotten 3 in the last month for future flights - all of which I've taken. About US$600 per direction - this is a excellent discount over buying CW up front!

RJ having a flash sale, up to 50% off for travel between 14FEB-25MAR, book by midnight (Amman time!)

As usual, their website is proving tricky but good luck if you can find something to suit.
