So I am doing a split revenue and miles journey in J to Beirut this summer for a wedding. I'm a bit skittsh about spending too much time on the ground in BEY, given present uncertainties in the Middle East. So I'm spending a lot of time touring in Turkey and then parachuting in to BEY for a few days.

HEre's the question: I'm flying AA from the States to DEL on a revenue ticket then using miles on RJ to IST and on to BEY. Is RJ the best OW option for J? Any other OW carrier that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!
