This one is available at various times of the year. I found great availability over the holiday season (12/16/16-1/2/17)
Also sometimes there are good deals to SIN, PEK, BKK, although in some cases with very long layovers in LHR or HEL.
Flights are YYC-LHR and LHR-YYC on BA (AY codeshare), with the remaining all on AY.
Still, not a bad deal if you're looking to go to Asia for the holidays while getting a nice boost towards AA EXP, as you'll earn 1.5x EQM on AA.

This one has its own thread and has been mentioned a few times in a general thread on "cheap" premium fares to Asia from Canada.
Also from YVR, YUL, YYZ. Need to call to get the fare, as the link to AY website never works (it did once, though).

Oh, I see, my bad. I've gotten the link to work on multiple occasions... do you mean it doesn't even take you to the AY site, or when you get there it doesn't let you book?

I have managed to book it on Orbitz, but you need to specify Finnair as airline then it comes up, with Orbitz Rewards Visa you get further 6% rebate to use for hotels.

I've definitely also been able to book this on Orbitz... well at least get all the way to the payment screen. I've been tempted to book this, but I have too many AA miles to spend this year before devaluation
