Yesterday I found nice trip from CDG to LGA + SEA - CDG but your route is so much more interesting
Sure, here's an example for 620TPs, 4 nights (it's more due to stops in LHR and AUS) for £995. Was showing in May, now only seems to be from June 2021. I'm going over July 4th weekend.

It's fairly wide open from what I can see (the LAX one from June anyway).

In addition to the LAX example above, here's the MSY one (which seems to be whenever - you could even go during Mardi Gras). This is more because I want to go there than TP run, but did add some extra stops to net a few extra points here and there. Price has gone up marginally since yesterday.

Some other creatives could probably squeeze in more stops, but I wanted the 787-10 on both LHR-DFW and MIA-LHR (that's not speculative either - my seats clearly show the Club Suite formation).

The A321T (or A321B if you're using SeatGuru) currently operates JFK-LAX, but there are rumors from @xJonNYC that AA is going to reconfigure those planes into more traditional seating arrangements. In that case, AA would be putting a version of the 777 or 787 on the JFK-LAX route.

Even the A321 Sharklets gives a pretty good lie-flat business seat, it's just the 2-2 arrangement that's irksome. Well, that and that it's not great in turbulence - so a 777/787 would be way better!

I've avoided it anyway and gone LAX-SEA-LHR for fewer TPs but individual window seat Club Suite on BA's 787-10. Gives more morning time in LAX too, which works to my preference.
