Mp reward booking to ath - strategy?
40+ year high-mileage MP member, Life Platinum. We lived in Australia for 10+ years, and business class R/T mileage bookings were generally 120K. Haven't used mile for sometime, and we looked at going to ATH (Athens) in mid-September 2025. Stunned speechless when we discovered an ORD/ATH Polaris R/T award booking was over 400k!

What strategies should we use to vacation without such an abusively high Mileage Plus airfare? Is this in the normal range now? Is there a way to monitor this routing for specials?
Thoughts?
