do not know where to post. please move

i have quite a few miles(enough for a couple dozen trips) and no status .i would like to use them to procure saver first class tickets from iad to france, italy, and other central and western european cities. a lot of the miles are flexible(starwood points). do not have to fly direct.

what airlines do i look at, what seasons. need 2 tickets, can schedule last minute, or way out. would like to get to BOD and TLS, sicily, calabria, mxp and the like. travel over christmas, thanksgiving is fine. could just go to CDG and drive
