How best to use Amex rewards Chicago to Germany?

Hello --

I'm a frequent SWA flyer and only fly overseas about once a year or so. I usually pay for the overseas flight and just take whoever can get me there for the least amount of $$. So I don't know anything about the rewards programs from airlines that fight to Europe.

However, I've accumulated 150k in American Express membership rewards and will probably have over 200k by the time I need to book a trip for two to Germany next fall. There's gotta be a way I can get two people to Germany with those points, right? We'd be flying out of O'Hare and I don't really care where we fly into Germany - Munich would be ideal, but Frankfurt would work.

I started to look through all the different transfer airlines and playing with their points and WOAH it's a lot to figure out.

Can someone just tell me yes or no if I likely will be able to fly with these points? And which airline is mostly like going to be my best bet?

Thanks so much
