Ok, thank you. So, if I understand correctly, just b/c an airline isn't explicityly stated as a partner airline (e.g., SAS, Lufthansa) doesn't mean we can't fly them via another "partner airline" (e.g, ANA or Air Canada). Sounds like our best bet is to borrow the 60k points, and then purchase the remaining. As for airline, I'll explore Lufthansa adn SAS.
