Aa/ba dfw-tlv $2800 j, $2600 f/j
Just booked a RT in J on AA.com for $2880. DFW-IAH-LHR-TLV, TLV-LHR-DFW. Dates were Feb 22 to March 3.
Same routing in F on the outbound and J return was $2600.
One-stop DFW-LHR-TLV also available at that price. As are connections through ORD, JFK, EWR.

Had to book it on BA.com to do that... and whenever I need to change my ticket, it's not as easy dealing with them since I don't have BAEC status.
Also, DFW-IAH was in economy.
Looking back on it, I probably should have done F, but it would have only mattered on IAH-LHR. LHR-TLV is in the new CW Suite.

So would this go down even more with BA if booked with AARP and the chase discount?

If you're booking F then your status makes no difference when dealing with BA, you can contact the YouFirst team which is the same group of agents that handle the GGL members.

I've been looking at booking this, for me I can find the First Class for DFW-IAH/ORD-LHR-TLV for less than Business on the way there, on the way back I can sometimes see F for just a few hundred more than Business, though it is not as widely available, and in every instance I've been able to find it involves overnighting in LHR on the connection back, so the best fare I've found is First there and Business back, always involving an AA flight (that books into coach) on the F there and mixed class, so neither AARP (which can not be mixed cabin) or Chase (which has to be all BA metal/flight numbers) will work for what I've found (YMMV).

Does the AARP Discount work on First Class though?
