Use google.com/flights. Put ORD in the origin, leave the destination blank. Put your dates in. Pick OneWorld for the airline. Click on the map, then select under $200 for the price. Zoom in a little, then look and see what it found. If there is nothing for $200, try $250 and so on. Pick a city and routing that gives you the mileage that you need.
