Booked LAX-FCO for $1,079 pp. Already called British Airways to attach our Alaska Mileage Plan numbers so with Gold 75K, we should be set to bring in about 50k RDMs each. Pretty solid haul. The only unfortunate thing is BA charges a ridiculous amount for advance seat selection even in Business Class, so I guess we'll play the odds at check-in.
Also, for those thinking of booking speculatively, I did confirm with an AAdvantage Vacations Club representative that the entire reservation can be canceled within 24 hours for free. She also said most people book throwaway hotels on these packages, so she was well aware of the practice.

In practice in the past, when AA international flights operated by BA have been submitted to AS for manual review, they've been credited. Given that AA is no longer earning miles on international flights for AS as of 3/1, I suspect it will no longer work as of that date.

Not dead. JFK - CDG still available most weeks Sept - early Nov, though prices seems to be around 1,400 - 1,500 now.
I just booked JFK - MAD from 10/29-11/4 for $1,120 with only 3 nights in a pretty solid hotel. Even caught the BA 777 from LHR to MAD.

tried a new combination and scored 3 x biz tickets for my family from BOS to CDG for a 10 day trip over Easter 2020. $1100 each, including 3 nights at an airport hotel on the way back. All flights are on BA metal.

IF anyone needs dates, we got in SFO-CDG mid August. As people have mentioned, Tues/ Weds seems like the best dates to fly.
Two couples, different times due to work schedules. One couple all AA metal, the other all BA metal. Four nights in Paris, 5 star hotel (if we decide to stay) ~$1215 per person.
Great find, team! Thanks for the help.
