Of course it is very possible I was doing something wrong! Roughly what should I expect the co-pay on a round-trip BOS<>DEL award to be? How about on two one-way awards instead?
Anything longhaul in AC, LH, OS, TG will be $1000+
TK, AI, UA, LX will be just tax.

The website won't give you all routings, it prefers the ones with heavy surcharges, even if more than half the route is in economy

Build your own route by segment. And call in to book.

Astonishing. How can AC justify making their own metal the most expensive to fly on an award? And not by a little, but by a lot? Makes me appreciate UA MileagePlus all the more.

I guess that settles it: we'll use the AC miles for TK, AI, UA, or LX.
