Looking to book 2 trips:

1) NYC-LAX (5 days), LAX - CUZ (6 days), CUZ - NYC
2) NYC - KOA, KOA - NYC

I'd like to get it all in J if possible and have points in all of the major programs (except Delta)

Ideally, I'm thinking of CUZ - NYC and NYC KOA on American using Alaska points. Would price @ 30K for J.

I’m interested in using award miles and in business class as well (if available). Can KLM book this? Any other options besides United?

Any Star Alliance partner should be able to book Copa.

There are cheaper options as far as miles are concerned, but they have high YQ
