4 seats are always going to be tough. Use EF and the best search engines for the 3 big alliances - UA, BA & AF/KL to find suitable options and EY.
I'd book TK any day. While their IN-TK service and timings is awful the rest of the journey will be pretty great. Plus very very low miles requirement unlike many others like LH that have high mileage and high YQ.
SQ is risky right now because there is no telling when SQ will open (and subsequently shut borders) for travel. But their Covid cancellation policies have been fantastic so far. I still have a few tickets booked on SQ for 2020 that are being taken good care of by SQ.

Ah ok... so you are booking right now. Usually I try to book/block the tickets with the airlines first before transferring miles.

my preferred option would have been cx but they recently raised their yq so once again tk looks like the best bet....

ba, af/kl, ey all have 4+ seats available but very high yq....while yq on tk is high as well, the mileage requirement is low so that makes it attractive....

You can issue the first ticket only to your name in order to verify your membership. Subsequently, you can issue award tickets for other persons as well.

Check on EF then call and block. BTW TK is showing amazing availability on some random dates I searched for summer 2022. I don't think I've ever seen 4 award seats available ever!

There was one time 2-3 years ago when TK's systems were undergoing upgrades and my Citi points didn't transfer there for over 3 weeks. During this entire time I spoke with plenty of agents. They were all super competent and happily obliged me with my cancelling & reblocking.

looking to move all the points from my prestige card to one of the airline partners....currently i have close to 200k points which would translate to around 800k miles....
any suggestions which airline to transfer them to????i would mostly end up using the miles for business class tickets for family between india-usa at some point next year....

RTW redemption requires 240k miles per person for business class which can have up to 7 stops with any star alliance partnered airline while circling the world (without backtracking of course).

Given you want to have family vacation, I would recommend you to transfer the points to SQ KrisFlyer for RTW redemption.
