Also available ex-LON for ~$1990 USD with the same fare basis (PLNCZEUW) to RDU. According to EF the base is $1279 with the rest taxes/fees largely due to high APD but could be useful even at the higher price since it appears usable across the board destination wise (LAX is just slightly higher at $2045)

So that you can buy as many of these tickets as you like to fulfil your stay requirements, earning even more miles on each of the back-and-forth journeys in between, and allowing you to sample a range of different carriers on a range of different routings each time.

Thank you OP!
Polo1980, I was looking for a ticket from either AMS, BRU, or DUS to SEA, and up pops your post earlier today!
Got me one from AMS to SEA, with a flight to LAX in order to fly the new SWISS 777 back to ZRH and AMS. $1,580.00! ^
Thank you FT!!!

Got LHR-SFO return non stop in business on UA in August for £1420, plus cashback from TopCashBack and from Amex, making the net about £1380. This is a fantastic deal for an ex-LHR - about £300 more than economy and £300 less than Premium Economy on BA or VS.
What's more, at that price, the extra expense of doing an ex-EU would exceed the saving. Many thanks to the OP.

Weird stuff, just got 1230.16 USD per ticket (3 tix) for AMS to IAD July 26-Aug 26
I originally chose that I was in NL with my NL Mobile etc as I am based here in NL(and it came back around the 1400 Euro mentioned) I then changed payment to my USA credit card and when I went to pay it said this is now repriced due to different country etc.
I also had the price lock offer for 7 days, (21.96) I selected it and went to pay being careful not to pay the ticket as I was thinking if I could hold for the next week maybe I get luck and something else opens up cheaper. Either way once I confirmed it came back with th e7 days clock but also saying the pricelock expires at 12:00AM Ams time on the 21st of April (so 30 minutes later as I booked this ticket at 11:30). Even stranger when I went to manage the ticket it showed it was already ticketed. I called 1800united1 and they said yes w eshow it paid and ticketed but we could refund you the price lock etc.
Either way really weird, I see I have ticket number now, so I guess it went through ok shame the site made it seem like you could price lock for 7 days though.
