After a bit of playing around --
DCA-WAW, 7/24/11 via BOS and AMS
WAW-CPH, 7/31/11 via AMS
CPH-DCA, 8/4/11 via ATL
All trans-Atlantic in BE and the ATL-DCA return in first. DCA-BOS and the 3 intra-Europe KL flights in coach.
100,000 miles plus $111.70 taxes.
It took some playing and was much easier to book multi-destination with the old NW award engine where you could see the mileage requirements for each leg on a multi-destination flight.
This on top of rebooking my award trip DCA-PVG last week and bringing it down from 180,000 to 120,000 miles.
Summer to Europe (although not the most favored destinations) -- low mileage awards are possible, they just take persistence and flexibility.
