Great find, thanks OP. Awesome fare for TLV. At the very least I told a friend in STL and it looks like he'll be booking end-to-end STL-ORD-STL flights. I wonder if any of the MIA/ORD-LHR segments can be booked on AA (hope to use my SWUs to ride in J)

Yep! Transatlantic segments may also be booked on AA for the same price. Just use ba.com and walk through the steps.

i was about to post this but for 568 ai, with a little add-on as permitted by the fare rules.
it also includes a free stopover in lhr, and if you leave within 24hrs--- no dep tax
I had an itin getting into lhr at 8:30 and leaving 8:25 or something following day giving pretty much a full day for free. if you don't ming the dep text i think stops are permitted up to 12 mos

Good fare to TLV, although obviously not that impressive on a per mile basis.
But I'm just impressed that you found a good BA fare. On farecompare, I see zillions of "good" BA fares, but I don't check them since I just assume they don't actually work.

Farecompare BA fares need to be dumped. Not that I know how to do it, but BA uses YQ and that is why they have such low base fares on farecompare.
