In general, I find the value proposition of using points to fly to Europe to be poor, in particular from Seattle. BA's fees are too rich. Condor is mostly only worth if it you find J, which can be done with some time investment (PE can sometimes be worth the cost, but it's typically close to a wash with points v. cash). The best option is AY, but they only fly seasonally and as of next summer only 3 days a week. I'm resigned to paying cash to fly to Europe and using AS points elsewhere.
