What class of service are you looking for?

For non-stop flights I would look into United flights booked through ANA by transferring MR points to ANA. SK and UA flies on the route and they have very different award seat release patterns. With SK you have to pay a lot of taxes but with UA you will be in the clear. Check out http://thepointsguy.com/2013/04/ana-...rtner-roundup/ .

If you need SK flights, then I would look at your UR points transferred to UA. Slightly more points, but no fuel surcharges on SK. If you want business class flights, then look at SK via OSL, or really any flight to europe connecting up with short SK flights. On your way out of germany you can also consider flights out of Stuttgart, Hamburg, Frankfurt, etc. all fairly easy to reach from Berlin via train.

Delta might also fly to ARN, but I am not sure.
