Nothing fancy...five of us in coach...but they had good one-way fares if you're willing to accept a connection in LIS.
Yeah, I booked using UR points through Chase's portal, so even though $1500 is spendy for coach my actual out of pocket was zero (aside from the $150 each for comfort plus).
Last year I was really excited for Norwegian (first time on 787) but after they canceled the flight I got a refund and was able to find the same price on Air Canada via YUL. We won the auction for PE so we were in PE on the way there. I definitely slept better in PE than I would have in coach. On the other hand, I'll be minorly uncomfortable on the nonstop flight but then I was able to use the leftover UR points for 3 nights at the Park Hyatt Vendome.

But I don't want to go in July. My friend is renting the chateau in June.
