And how do I get back to NYC from London? It's not just the YQ. 115k aa miles is a lot.

use VX or VS points to fly on VS metal maybe. (still high YQ but few points)
You can get your air passenger duty refunded if you only spend less then 24 hrs in London, even if flying on separate tickets.

Really? That's awesome. How do you go about doing that?

It might not work for BA

That is a pretty big deal. Thank you!
would have been handy to know I could do this when trying to find these flights:

And for the return I needed a full day in LHR, thus:

JNB-LHR - SA J
LHR-FRA - LH J (overnight)
FRA-ORD - UA F

Sent VS CS an email around 3 months ago pointing this out for a recent flight, still awaiting their reply.
