Help me figure out an award ticket
Need the experts help again. I found space on an outbound flight to Europe (SFO-JFK-AMS). The trouble is I am unable to find award space back to SFO or anywhere in the USA around July 29 (can do upto +2 days). I can fly to anywhere in Europe to get the flight. Any help is appreciated.

On July 29, KL 1107 AMS-ARN connecting to DL 203 ARN-JFK gets you back to the US in Business class.
On July 29, 30, or 31, UX 1092 AMS-MAD connecting to UX 91 MAD-JFK also gets you back to the US in Business class.
Sadly that's probably the easy part. Finding your way back to SFO in Low, either Y or F, on DL metal... now that's the real challenge.

Note that if you originate in London for the return or take a stopover (over 24 hours or a different ticket) you will pay a lot of luxury tax for TATL in BE.
