You can use AA on QR via DOH

Or 75k with AC.

Its also 80K with UA.

Best bet is booking VS, AF or KLM via Delta for 80k each way.
Thanks all!

My question is not about pricing, but where's my best bet to get a more premium experience. E.g. I know Delta and United are at around the same price, but my question is where will I get more bang for my mile - delta on vs/af/KLM or United on LH? The latter is a better product, but perhaps availability is better on the former?

Is QR at the same level as EK and EY? I've flown through AUH, but DOH somehow rubs me the wrong way.

What about AS awards on CX? Is that doable?

AA F 67.5k, J is 55k IIRC
However, check AS pricing, may be slightly cheaper. slightly

Best way NYC to SCL Santiago Chile. Eco and bus
LAN is the only one that flies there nonstop on a 787. 30k AA eco, 50k AA Biz. IIRC you have to call in
Does AA.com show availability? I know it's 25k for the flight. How do I check availability using BA avios?

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

From YYZ (or nyc/ord etc..)  to bkk using aa miles, or any other airline using amex/spg,  sometime this summer. I also have 55k Lufthansa left that I wouldn't mind using up.
