An AAnytime Coach award between the U.S. and Europe costs 60,000 AA miles each way, so 120,000 miles roundtrip. As long as there are Coach seats available for sale, you can get AAnytime awards.

If you are lucky enough to find MileSAAver/Partner awards to Europe for summer travel, they will cost 30,000 AA miles each way.

Based on your monthly spend, it probably makes sense to get an SPG Amex to continue building up your stash of AA miles, after you have met the spend requirements for the bonuses on your Citi/AA cards. SPG points transfer to AAdvantage miles at the rate of 20,000 points to 25,000 AA miles.
