I'm considering transferring miles to ANA for a trip but would like to get a sense of the fuel surcharges. Can someone with miles in their account price the fees for LHR-ZRH-TLV-ZRH-JFK in J (stick CDG-LHR to make it 'RT')

I can't get you cost, but I can say this, if you would take the last leg from Swiss ZRH-JFK and change it to UA ZRH-EWR it would save you a couple hundred dollars (at least I think so)

Swiss has YQ charges on ANA, UA doesn't.

I need a OW award on United from LAX to the east coast on June 23rd 2015. I am landing from an international flight and want to return to the east coast that day. I plan to book using Aeroplan so the flight needs to be available thru their system.
Yes I have spent time searching on United.

You can call ANA and go through her finding all the legs that you have in mind and then she'll price it for you.
