There is pretty decent CW 14 day AP fare from DME to the US at the moment. INCRU45 allows a stopover in London and prices at under 1500GBP to NYC. Similar prices further West (e.g. TUS and ONT). Minimum 560TP or 640 with short connection. Maybe someone can get a 2000+ connection to price without adding significantly to the cost?

UNLIMITED STOPOVERS PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT LIMITED TO 2 FREE AND UNLIMITED AT USD 300.00 EACH. NONE IN CUBA 2 FREE IN AREA 1/AREA 2 UNLIMITED IN AREA 1/AREA 2 AT USD 300.00 EACH.

Further to my earlier post, I have found a fare of 1500GBP to SJC next month (DME-LHR-NYC-CLT-SJC-CLT-NYC-LHR-DME = 920TP), Fare basis is INN4EMN7. The rules on stopovers and transfers state:
However adding an inbound stopover in London increases the return fare component by over 700GBP (same fare basis). What other fare rule might I be falling foul of?

The difference I can see between the AA INN4EMN7 and the BA INCRU45 is that the BA fare explicitly rules out any HIP checks, but not so the AA (the HIP exceptions is absent, so by default there is a HIP check on the stopover).

I'm trying to get to LAS towards the end of this month, or very early next month and can't seem to come up with anything under £2500 in C. Any ideas?

Ams-lhr-cpt €1140
Booked yesterday on BA site for travel in January, returning 6 Feb. Fares triple the week after. 400 tier points and 26,078 avios.
The Avios will go up if I can work out a 420 tier point run for October...suggestions welcome!

Do you mean £1,140? I can't get the price down to €1,140.
It's interesting that this one is still around.

Perhaps this is just a bad choice of thread title rather than a cross-posting. @geminigirl789 is asking about suggestions for a tier point run. She also explained in the Premium Fare Deals forum why she ended up posting twice.

Not sure if my memory is going or the MIL-DXB fares are cheaper at the moment. Just booked at under £1,050, and I seem to remember it being £1200ish previously.

Pity the deal DXB - Asia around 750 eur with UL is gone, I think.
