Are there any alternatives you recommend?

Thanks!
AA and BA points/miles are amongst the worst to use now.

Using United points or those of some other Star Alliance carriers should make it relatively easy. Also, don't ignore that those UR points are as good as cash for regular paid tickets, just keep in mind that it may cheaper to buy two separate tickets -- for example a California-Scandinavia roundtrip ticket and next a round trip ticket from OSL/CPH/ARN to Croatia.
