I think only TAP regularly offers low J fares from the US to EU these days. I'm currently thinking about the SFO-LIS flights in Spring/early Summer for $1541 (to use as positioning flights for the one on this thread). Restrictions have to be lifted by then...right?

It is because in the JV each side of the Atlantic set their own prices for the JV. For some time LH was dumping prices to drive Norwegian out of the market by destroying any yield. Europe also had/has a bigger seat oversupply on their side. This means there are more seats to fill especially the short hauls giving more option to combine into something cheaper. The oversupply is generally why there are so many deals out of Europe. ME3 also don't help in propping up fare on long haul flight.

Just tried those dates for DFW-LHR on both kayak and ba.com in F, got round trip fares well above $5000. Might have been a short-time mistake fare. Or did you mean you got that fare for just the outbound portion?
