Help scoring Biz tkt on miles EU-ATL with very flex dates
I am flying from just about anywhere in Europe to ATL the week of June 17 with a return the week of Sept 9 or 16. I would prefer to be RT in/out of the same city.

I am able to fly from any of these cities:
LHR
CDG
MAN
DUB
GVA
Milan
MUC
FRA
BRU
ATH
IST

I cannot seem to score this golden 100k mile ticket when the calendar shows low miles, even looking at Economy through the seach instead of Business. Any suggestions? Am I better off playing around with the search engine or having a phone agent help?

Forgot to mention that I'd like to go non-stop. If I can't get biz RT, I prefer biz to ATL and econ from. Looking for the lowest mileage, lowest tax option.

Avoid the UK then....APD is not friendly on any ticket...

Also...try using this thread to guide your search:

I suspect finding low availability in June may be challenging...do not forget about ST partner awards as well...

Look for partners, especially using the AF/KLM website. My guess is that BRU is likely to have the best availability of the cities on your list.

Unfortunately, DL systems seem unable to see award space on AF right now, as we've had multiple reports of agents being unable to see it, and inventory that should be visible on DL.dumb simply isn't.
