What other F products to Europe do you have access to with AS miles?

EK? That will be over a 2x premium on BA in miles. Ch-ching. Now, maybe you don't mind paying $200-500 less but 110k extra miles more each way... but oh, unless you want to fly out of JFK/EWR (or connect to JFK on AS, and have a redeye connection to boot), you just added a lot of time flying to DXB first before you got to Europe.

Maybe you really like showers and bling, but that's a lot of miles and backtracking for a shower and bling.

AA? Not so easy to find these days.

And that's it for F- no AF F available with AS miles, and AF/KL J isn't all that easy to find either. BA premium classes are, for what it's worth, the awards that match the sweet spot of "not impossible to find, doesn't require close to three quarters of a million miles for a party of two to make a round trip to Europe in F".
