Hi All,

It's been a minute but I'm back to start planning an international trip using miles. Unlike my two previous trips to AUS and NZ on Cathay Pacific, this time I'm heading east to Europe. Plenty of lead time, aiming for September 2025 in Sicily if I can find the right tickets, for one person, flying J or F. I've done some research into which airline partners fly to Sicily (not many!) and some reading of other threads. Looks like my options are BA (high fees), AA, and Condor. I live in ANC so understand a positioning flight will likely be required. Appreciate any insight and suggestions you would be willing to offer. I enjoy planning and the hunt for tickets but there seemingly so many more options that I'm not sure where to start. Thanks!
