+1 SFO-LIS nonstop in C is currently pricing at $1350 one-way. I know we all want to find a way to use GPUs for family travel but this seems like a no-brainer, as the cost is probably not much more than UA economy (and no dice roll on the GPU).

And maybe even better on the new LH nonstops from DEN-FRA. We even found 4 saver award seats in C next summer...

Yes, the TAP flights won't earn as much RDM or EQN, but still decent. And TAP plans to use the new 787s (or are they 350s) on the SFO route, with 100% lie-flat business class seats.
