Just be careful they charged me a foreign transaction fee when I booked this for a friend on my amex business gold. I was shocked. They also charge around $3 to use a credit card, Who does that?
This is a special and will cost more points after 6/17/13
So basically what I got for my London trip, in the other direction. I'd rather not waste that much $$. I know the value of my UR points, but at this point, I'd rather use the miles than $$.
As for the ticket, I used my Sapphire preferred card, because I (correctly) assumed that I would be charged a foreign transaction fee.
Another option:
Dusseldorf, germany to NYC on airberlin with american aadvantage miles
direct non stop
30,000 miles +$101.60
This is a good option. But I think so far, my best option yet is CDG-BDL for 30k miles and $89. I'd use 4500 Avios for my trip from London to Paris and it'd work out okay.
But my knowledge is limited and therefore i'm looking for other options. And I appreciate your help!

I am trying to do my own research as well, so that you don't feel I'm asking you all to do the work.
