Being 1K hasn't seemed to help me either.
Any suggestions are welcome.
1. Get ANA
2. Research
3. Call armed with flight numbers
your options are many, most obvious TK via ORD/YYZ/JFK, but it would include domestic UA F to those gateways.
Others include LH/LO/LX/OS/BD, all of which fly to IST/SAW.
Across the pond you have AC/LO/LX/LH/US/CO/SQ and UA.
Absolutely no need to get to a European hub and buy a seperate ticket.
Why do people in this forum so often insist on redeeming on UA metal??
And what does being 1K have to do with *Star partner availability?? Why does everyone always mention status when looking for award travel?
Give us some dates, and you ll be amazed how quickly someone will find some seats.
PS. There are numerous days from SFO to IST available in C in July and August, you just have to look
