AA: OSL-LAX-OSL RT mix J/F $4521
Greetings All,
Wanted to check to see if this is a good fare? I think it is able to book BA 380 in F both directions.

Thoughts?

I've flown BA F on the A380. Suffice it to say I was underwhelmed: even with an upgraded soft product, it's still much closer in overall style/comfort to standard international J versus truly top-notch F (e.g. SQ & EY). I'd rank it only marginally better than AA J on planes upgraded to their reverse-herringbone product.
It's also reasonably easy to get a seat in J ex-West Coast for about half that much money, though possibly not between OSL-LAX (or vice-versa). Finally, your best bet in terms of AA EQMs/EQDs is QR: flights between LAX-KUL regularly show up on here for under $2,500, for significantly greater mileage-run possibilities given the necessity of connecting through DOH (nearly 16 hours from LAX).

The mix J/F was a bit misleading - it is an F fare.
However even for that it is more than what is available all year round normally. A couple years ago they had companion fares at $2500 pp in F OSL-LAX. Even LH/LX ex OSL to US is about 4K.

ex-US West Coast? Now you've piqued my interest. I haven't been keeping up as closely as I should on premium deals. I did snag ARN-LAX on BA F for ~US$2.2k a couple years back. I'd book that if it came available again.
