You can do PHX-MUC in May from 68K RT in Premium Select (via DTW) which is a pretty good deal. Could also be useful if you've got any GUCs available.

You will likely not see anything that low from PHX these days. The sub-50K RT main cabin awards are mainly limited to competitive east coast gateways like BOS and NYC (where revenue fares also tend to be cheaper). There's shoulder season awards on LAX-LHR for 58K RT. I see PHX-CDG from 62K RT. Lowest DL metal award levels require mid-week Tue-Thu travel. Partner coach awards are 35K each way (70K RT) and don't require mid-week flights. You can do PHX-MUC in May from 68K RT in Premium Select (via DTW) which is a pretty good deal. Could also be useful if you've got any GUCs available.
