There is the potential to nest tickets with one paid Business Class fare and award travel Business Class by setting dates a couple months apart. Here is a closer look at Paris to Chicago.

This is a fare I searched through Google Flights and then checked for ticketing on the U.S. American Airlines website. This shows this is not a fare mistake. You can search dates on Google Flights for Amsterdam, Paris and Rome to USA cities, then go to the Oneworld Airlines booking site of your choice. Fares are available with American, British Airways and Iberia with routes and flights operated by all three airlines.

thanks, i message you yesterday about J or F class posting and today its here.
Does the BA AARP $400 off work ex-EU? Thanks for the heads up on this fare
@Shaun – No. AARP discount only works when starting in USA airport for round trip tickets.
@Choi – What a fun coincidence. I generally don’t look for Business Class and your email got me thinking about that on my first day back home from Europe.
Is this only Europe to USA, not the reverse. Can’t find any roundtrips beginning in US for prices anywhere close to this.
@Kate – Unfortunately this deal is only for tickets starting in Europe to USA and not USA to Europe.
That is why I mentioned booking award tickets with miles for USA to Europe and buy a low cost Business Class fare Europe to USA.
For example you can go in Nov-Feb on miles to Europe and fly back to USA in Business Class, stay at home a couple months, then go back to Europe in Business Class on the return portion of the paid ticket and fly home again using milesor a cheap airline economy ticket. With departure dates from November to April you can have two trips to Europe lasting 5 to 12 days or so separated by several months at home in the USA (or Canada/Caribbean).
@Kate – starting in Europe is my normal ticketing strategy for low cost flights. I just flew Salzburg, Austria to Los Angeles two days ago and fly back to Vienna in December on a $490 American Airlines ticket.
Then I will fly Stockholm to San Francisco to come home in December and fly back to Riga, Latvia in July on a $471 SAS round trip ticket. I still need to find a ticket back home from Europe next July. I have 10 months to locate a miles award or cheap ticket.
Of course these are all economy class tickets. Even at $1,000, I don’t want to pay that much to fly Business Class. Great deal for some people though.
