OP - have you considered using your miles to a major city in the EU - and then paying to fly to VCE on a local carrier? For example - getting into LHR/FRA/VIE may be a lot easier than getting to VCE on a saver ticket - and you may be surprised how cheap it is to fly intra-Europe in economy - so much so that you could afford to fly inter-continental in business class... Using LarkSFO's example - could you get to FRA/AMS with your miles and then pay to fly to VCE separately?
