Hey All, going to be doing a trip over to Vilnius, Lithuania in about a month. This is partially for work, but organization has been left to me(Boss knows I'm as picky about routing,carrier, plane, etc. as he is. )

Am vacillating between buying and awarding this trip. Since it's only partially for work, cost is somewhat on my head.
I'm short on cash, but also a few K short on miles to re-qual for Premier next year.
Would appreciate any advice, ideas, hints, esp. for routing on *A carriers from $RANDOM_HUB_IN_EUROPE to VNO.

It's been suggested that I just buck up for the long haul of SFO->{LHR|CDG|FRA}->VNO but I'm wondering if a trip over the poles out of SEA to CPH or something might be better.

Thanks,
JD
