With 66K miles I can't believe it is that hard to find an award ticket for a domestic flight. Even at the high level, the ticket should cost 60K miles. But if the OP reads the sticky about how to find low level awards and spends a bit of time online, my guess is they can find awards. I recently found two business class low level awards to Europe, also found a low level award to Alaska. Lots of options are available with perseverance and knowing the system is broken, thus doing your own research.
