I ended up finding an LX J award SFO-ZRH-AMS, but am having second thoughts. I too really like Austrian Airlines. I flew them also around 4 years ago on my way back from Vienna and really enjoyed the food and comfort.

But finding awards out of SFO is nice because of the opportunity to take advantage of the Polaris lounge. So I can choose LX, SAS, or LOT which I assume all leave from G by Polaris. LX was booked but read that they can be somewhat inconsistent.
