You would have to do a search here. The problem is that prices have gone up substantially in some markets over the last 12 months, sometimes almost doubling. Play around with the OW website for some departure points and only you can make the decision where your pain point is. And how much you value airline status, lounge access and those extra miles which get you award flights later.
