Austrian Airlines has a nonstop from LAX-VIE, then flies on to Croatia. If it should be available, you can book it with United miles.
What have you found when you looked for award availability? It's very easy to use united.com. I see outbound availability on June 6 from LAX-ZAG but that is the only day I saw it in June/July/August.
If LH,OS & LX all have saver I would go with LH assuming its not an extended layover. Reason is the Biz Lounge at the Z gates in FRA is so much nicer then OSs or LXs. Havent flown LHs new seats but from the many times on OS & LX the seats even in Biz are narrow and hard like a rock. that said I have an upcoming trip using both of them since thats all thats available, at least theres good ice cream bars @ LXs ZRH loubge. OSs lounge is simply the pits and you hav eto pray that it isnt hot out as the ac doesnt exist. But OS or LX in Biz beats Y anyday
