The main thing it seems is to jump on this next May. Will do.

But I guess I shouldn't close my mind--LOT, Turkish,, TAP, do they have a decent business class? (Just hate the idea of flying all the way back to Istanbul or Warsaw to fly home. Want a quick trip, not a hugely long one.)
Turkish is the best of the lot, way better than Lufthansa and Swiss. TAP if you can get a new plane only, LOT is very good too, but mostly for 2 people flying together.

Lufthansa, Austrian and Air Canada will cost hundreds of $ extra for fuel surcharges on top of points.
