Would A3 not be a better choice for this (AFAIK they are now selling miles)?  Or does the YQ sour the deal? Or TK?

Why limit yourself to RZE? Try KRK or KTW as alternatives. Theyre maybe a 45 minutes longer drive to Lizhensk than RZE. Aslo consider KSC or even BUD as flight plus driver from either of those may be cheaper than flying to RZE
