Burning miles (GVA-HEL-JFK) in J?
I have some miles I need to burn before they expire this coming Feb (2017) and want to use them for a GVA-HEL-JFK in J.

When I search flights from GVA via HEL to JFK nothing comes up with AY but rather BA/AA via LHR so questions:

1) Why do I not get the option via HEL with AY? For some other destinations, flights it will show up with +20 hours layovers...
2) Miles needed will not be 198'000 return in J unless it's with AY I gather?

Any pointers highly appreciated indeed.
