return: DBU(OU)-->ZAG(OU)-->FRA(LH)-->JFK

First, I'll try calling today to book this. Should the above be 60,000 miles per tickets?

Any ideas about the taxes, fees, etc I might have to pay

Thanks
It would be 60k in Y but please don't do this. Give yourself a much better experience and use the double miles promotion on purchasing miles to get the extra 20k ($323) so you have 200k overall and fly business.

I would recommend LX from JFK-ZRH-FCO and DBV-ZAG-ZRH-JFK. LX has seats which can be reclined into fully flat beds on this route.

You will be glad you spent the extra $166 per person

Your taxes for your suggested flights would be $124.75 per person. You also have to pay a $50 booking fee with US.
