You can also transfer your Amex points to Delta and fly through CDG. Unfortunately DL shows no "low/low" award redemptions; the best you can do is "low/medium", 105k for the r/t in economy, which isn't too great. But it is possible to get a business class redemption for not terribly much more, 175k. (And you can spend some time in Paris on the way back.) These aren't great deals, but at least something to consider if the other suggested avenues don't work out.

Delta lets you put an award ticket on hold for 2 days, so if you find a flight you like, you can hold it while you search other options, and then transfer your Amex points if you decide to go with it.
