The sad thing is that I don't have time to squeeze in all those sectors. :'(

Well, for instance, I want to go to LAS for a weekend. I could do something boring like LHR-LAS-LHR. But it's cheaper for me to do CAI-LHR-JFK-LAX-HNL-LAX-LAS-LHR-CAI, with a stopover in LAS, including positioning.

wish I had the time to do that too!
I bought LHR-LAX-KOA-LAX-LHR (business and first) for £2100 and thought that was good (available on virgin/AA/BA and some UA). Then I saw this one.
To be fair, mine is from 19th dec 2017 to 2nd Jan 2018. so a little problem with the peak dates (not much flexibility this time).
But am on the look out for something crazy like this for a trip we plan to take to SYD in 2018. Fingers crossed.

@rajeshh:
Flight 1 should have "ba lhr ba" instead of "ba lhr aa".
With that change I get $1840.
It can be further reduced to $1791 if you choose LAX as connecting airport in flights 2 and 3 instead of DFW.

Since AA/BA/AY/IB codeshare extensively on TATL, you may be better off leaving the specific airline out, and specifying the alliance oneworld; f bc=i on the advanced routing codes.

Are you restricting the number of stops, extra stops, etc? Also, explicitly specify USD as currency and a US sales city (like Boston or Chicago).

ime, permitting ITA to default to Cairo (for this and some other ex-Egypt fares) as the sales city has resulted in some very, very curious outputs. I've had good success when using LHR as the sales city.
