Figured that out, but it sucks away to have to compare a route to the award chart.
Especially taking into account that there are so many rules and/or promos that could significantly change the price.
Know exactly what you mean.

What route are you looking at?

Seats could always potentially open up.

There is no best way. With those miles you theoretically could book dozens of routings.

Any reason to why the "use star alliance member airlines" is unavailable by me? Is that due to a lack of miles? Or current status?

Do you realize that Cathay Pacific isn't Star Alliance? Do you realize that your question has nothing to do with Search Tips or the like? ???

Please try searching for the CORRECT thread, you will see that there is much better threads that this should belong in!!!
