What's the best way to book?

KRK-JFK in J or F
Have AC, UR, AA and BA
Also have AB reserved through AA on that route, so need to cancel (with fee).

AB via AA is best at 50k, keep the ressy

Vs the opportunity to fly LH A380 F? I think not.

best J value is on AB for 50k + no YQ
best F value is via A3 60k (LH F) <50k SPG wow> + YQ

I'm not following.
KRK-JFK? Who flies that route nonstop?
LH flies via FRA, but does AB even fly that route at all?

Thanks.
When I first tried to type KRK into the AB website, it didn't autopopulate. I had to scroll down past their US gateways.
So, sort-of-related: sounds like the AB A330 lie flat in J is nice.  Hoping to fly it BOS-DUS at some point.  (also hoping to fly LH F...)

Serious question: is AB award availability supposed to be visible on AA.com, or need to PUTPAC?

its avail.. just do a calendar search, like a monthly view,, select nonstop flights, select the light blue business class option & you'll see whats avail

EK JFK - MXP is the cheapest with JAL at 50k in F?
If I see availability on Alaska website is that available with jal?
Could I hold my award meanwhile I'm waiting for my spg transfer to go thru?

[hvaces42]

FYI AB only has Y availability through AA through Mid-March and no J at all. And no availability beyond that. I got my J in October.

I'm just seeing connecting flights on BA. At least for June and July. And it's not giving me the option to select non-stop flights only.

Ah. Thanks. That explains why I'm not seeing anything in June/July.
Wonder if I PUTPAC?

@Chapshnell, thanks.  I was looking too far out.

And I'm looking BOS-DUS, not NYC-DUS.  The AB options are not showing up for BOS, at least not that I can see.
