Itinerary help request for 100k mile bonus
 

I am going to be in Germany (Frankfurt/ Berlin) Nov 8-12, and in Moscow Nov 28-Dec 2. Can anyone help me figure out how to best get the 100k AA (and maybe also the 100k BA) bonus? I'll be getting AA & BA credit this weekend on a RT from LAX/DFW. I would greatly appreciate any help (esp. w/ booking advice), and I will try to return the favor--I'm an investment advisor (CFA).

It looks like there are quickie RT flights on Finnair and BA between helsinki and Stockholm for $108.30 RT in Y Class. Do these count?

Actually, ITN says flights are "as low as $54.15 this leg based upon RT", but when I try to price, the tickets are all over $400.
Any thoughts?

First check the RULES for the fares available on Travelocity's website. You may be leaving at the wrong time etc. etc.

Also check ITN (in expert mode) to see that the particular cheap fare class is available for the flight you want. If you see 0 seats in that class then you will not be able to book that deep discount fare.

From London, cheap excursion fares can be had to Spain on Iberia. You can maybe think of doing a weekend thing.

From Manchester, Cathay Pacific flies between there and Amsterdam or Paris. It has full traffic rights. You can maybe check out with a big travel company in London to see if they can offer you any special fares which you can accrue miles on. On AA, you can currently accrue miles only on fares ticketed in Y, B or H class.
