I check Flyertalk regularly for news of great fares and if it isn't in Mileage Run it is likely to be overlooked by me.
I agree

From various east coast destinations, FlyI flies to EWR. B6 frequently has good deals from California to JFK, such as their recent companion fare offer - I doubt you could get two people to Sweden for under $800 any better way, except maybe combining SAS's Christmas time sales from SEA and a cheap WN ticket.
And I was prepared to use AS miles from SEA-EWR and ground transfer to JFK to take advantage of the Icelandair $60 r/t to Reykjavik last summer. Alas, it was not to be.
