So far I have been searching One World and Star Alliance availability using the KVS Tool (searching AC, QF and BA). I need a total of 4 tickets in C or F home from London or Paris to L.A., Orange County or San Diego on either January 5th or January 6th. I'm flying with my in-laws, so it's fine if we fly home on two different flights (2 on one, 2 on another).
4 business award seats Europe to the west coast, the weekend after new year's, is a very tall order.
If you have plenty of miles, the UA "everyday" awards are plentiful at 155k each.
