I don't have ANA miles but I would peg a fuel surcharge for 2 flight segments via Europe at about $300 give or take.

Why don't you use CO miles?
The transfer from Amex is instant and you save on the fuel surcharges.

Usually takes a couple days for Amex to post to ANA. Better hope the flight are still there...

Yes, but if you need to make a change CO will be much more flexible than ANA and the transfer is instant.
Anyway why is AMEX $230?  I think it should be capped at $99.

anyone out there have miles in their ana account for 2 biz class seats from ewr-tlv that is willing to book it for me? Now b4 e/o starts screaming at me let me explain. i have been trying to call co all week to book a ticket and when i call i get a recording "due to the weather in the northeast all of our agents are assisting other cust. we cannot answer the phone. goodbye" or something along those lines. so the tix i want just opened up on ana i am just worried by the time i transfer the amex points the tix will be gone. Again if anyone can help it would be gr8ly appreciated oh and i will get someone to vouch4 me obviously

In the future, I have always been able to get through to great CO agents with no hold time (even when the regular line has hour long holds) with this:
