I always have the "summer European travel conundrum" because it's almost never worth buying a summer coach ticket to Europe (especially lately) , and it's never worth redeeming mileage for "just Europe" from the East Coast. Like with UA, you can book a coach ticket to Asia -- and stop in Europe -- for 65,000 miles. For 60,000 you only get Europe.

Alas, $610 isn't enough of a bargain for me either, even though it's way cheaper than the average summer European fare.

The way I'm solving this problem is redeeming 30,000 Avios miles to fly BOS-DUB, but that's obviously not for everyone.
