AA/BA/AY ARN-LAX 1856€ books I/D, early June
Not the greatest deal found in Matrix, but OKish. Fare: INN2R4C1
Available at least early June, ticketing only this weekend:
Creative routing possible: ARN-HEL-LHR-JFK-LAX rt. 800TP for BA.
Edit: Having a hard time to price this on any OTA or AA.COM...
Edit2: BA.com and Kayak seems to offer the price.
Available at least early June, ticketing only this weekend:
Code:
TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED ON/AFTER 22APR 17 AND ON/BEFORE 24APR 17.

28Jun ARN-HEL AY I 40
29 Jun HEL-MAN AY I 80
29 Jun MAN-PHL AA I 140
29 JUN PHL-LGA AA D 40
30 Jun LGA-CLT AA D 40
30 Jun CLT-LAX AA D 140
and back by the same routing in reverse the following morning.. Matrix quoting this at SEK 15945 which XE makes GBP 1382.29 so £1.57/TP.
Not stellar but not too bad if you want to go to LA for dinner

ARN-HEL-LHR-JFK-SFO-LAX-SFO-JFK-LHR-HEL-ARN
880 TPs
And I would say that routing is the best TP/comfort ratio also.

Wow looks like some fun! 
Any help replicating those 3+ stop itineraries?
I've been playing around on Kayak and Matrix but couldn't get it to work (also since they have a 6 flight max), only with 2 stopovers max.
Thanks!

Depart: ARN
Routing code: HEL LHR JFK SFO
Arrive: LAX
Routing code: SFO JFK LHR HEL
This should get you started. I would normally put "AA101,AA105,AA107,AA141" bet ween LHR and JFK on the outbound to guarantee AA metal. You can also specify the A350 flights between HEL-LHR-HEL for a better product than a A320.

Is there any reason why some BA flights seem to work while other on same fare code and route do not? Trying to fly OSL-LHR-SFO/LAX-LHR-SVG with stopover in London on each way, but can only seem to get the pricing on some of the OSL-LHR flights.

When the fare mentions "free" stopovers, it really means "fee free" in terms of the ticket, you are still liable for additional taxes and surcharges incurred as a result of the stopover in the country. >24 hours counts as a connection so this may be why it is the correct fare on some itineraries you search for?

Thanks--stopover is >24 hours but that is unfortunately unavoidable--alternative is a much more expensive ticket ex LHR!
Looking at
OSL-LHR May 7
LHR-SFO May 13
LAX-LHR May 21
LHR-SVG or STO May 27
Somehow the ticket prices at NOK 22,600 if I select one of the two morning flights OSL-LHR (which are AA codeshares) but jumps to NOK 28,338 for any of the other flights the same day. Rest of itinerary seems fine.
Any thoughts?
