Advice Needed - BOS to BAH visiting husband on deployment

Hi all,

I had gotten the chase sapphire reserve when i found out my husband would be in Bahrain for a year long deployment(active duty navy). My plan was to use the points to visit him later this year. Well plans changed and he wants me to visit in late Feb/early March. I haven't done all the research I wanted and I am new to this game.

I have 110,268 ultimate rewards points which i know can be transferred to BA, Flying Blue, or United. Given the limited amount of time I have, what's my best option to maximize my points? I know that an economy seat is ~$750 and business class is $3200 round trip and I can be flexible with my travel dates and times. Also, I saw that there are award booking services reviews on this site. Should I consider going through one of them?

Thank you in advance
