BA First LAX/SFO/SEA/DFW/MIA/NYC to DEL $4200+
Good price for this aspirational product and a nice AS mileage run as well (LAX-DEL should be at least 48,000 status miles).

Edited to add additional origination cities at prices as low as $4200+.

Not to rain on your parade, but BA First is much worse than QR J and absolutely not worth the cost. Also, Delhi in May is AWFUL

ETA: that's still a good price.
ETA2: Works from SFO, SJC, SAN, SEA, LAS, probably more.

BA F vs QR J is not the point of the thread. plus, for some members like the AS flyers that the OP mentions, flying on QR doesn't do any good for MR's. and if you look at the valid dates for the fare, there are many through the rest of the calendar year.

@OP, thanks for sharing.

Earns a whopping 1260 TPs ($2.7/TP) and 148,028 avios if you sign up for the double miles promotion for six flights and route via JFK.

I've not flown either, but there is an appeal, perhaps nostalgic, to BA F, and it is considered a bucket list item for many (experience 747 in F, visit Concorde room, etc), even if it's not the first pick for their usual carrier.

Looks like a fantastic bargain, particularly mileage earning. Great post. Doubt this deal with last more than a few days.

I think you are not applying the double miles promotion correctly. BA A class gives you a 2.5x without the promotion. It becomes 3.5x with the promotion.
If you have gold status, then you have 4.5x. Still only makes about 91k avios.
And I presume your price per TP was supposed to be per £.
