I'm looking to leave March 3rd from SFO, return date still not set
5 weeks for a transatlantic business class award ticket is very short notice. Especially when you're on the West Coast, due to limited flights from the West Coast and difficulties lining up domestic availability. For example, there are number of flights from JFK and EWR with availability, but no availability in business or first to get to the east coast.
The following low-level options are available on March 3:
Lufthansa SFO-FRA
US Airways SFO-PHL-CDG, SFO-CLT-LHR
US Airways SFO-PHX-JFK, Air Berlin JFK-DUS
KLM SFO-AMS
I'd grab one ASAP, likely the Lufthansa or KLM
