If you are SEN (or know one who will lend you the miles from his/her account) you can get the IAD inaugural by WL an award, which should clear because D is still available for sale. Awards to/from Europe to IAD are currently 55k miles, so this would be a steal (if you ign

Thank you.
If I want to buy the two flights in whY class on the LH website it gives me a total of
€ 2235.12 to do both inaugurals FRA-IAD-FRA
which is quite off limits I must say.
I called United to see if I could do the flights using MP miles.
They see a number of open mileage seats available in whY class for both flights only for the fact that they cannot sell or even not waitlist them.
They had to send out a message to the supervisor in the US about selling the seats which they said might take about a week to answer.
I tried doing a simulation directly on the United website only that neither of the two flights are showing in their system for mileage seats availability.
