Help me get my girl home! (ZRH/FRA/MUC -> BOS/NYC)
Hi!
I found a sweet deal to fly my girl in from the US over new years and finally get to burn some of those miles:
Sat 27th BOS->ZRH direct flight on LX for 25k MM miles + 263US$ (Matrix has this for more than $3k at the moment)
The problem is there is absolutely no availability to get her home and even paying cash would only work at crazy prices!
I am looking for a one-way flight such as:
ZRH/MUC/STR->BOS on Sat Jan 3rd
or
FRA->NYC on Sun Jan 4th
Available resources:
130k MM
100k Avios
Any ideas are very welcome!

Not that it is helpful but planning earlier is best.
There is a business class award available on AA from ZRH-JFK-BOS on January 3rd BUT it's probably more avios than you have.

ZRH-JFK is just under 4,000 flown miles, so that would cost just 40K Avios (plus hefty surcharges) for a one-way in Business. The JFK-BOS leg would be 4,500 Avios in Coach, or 13,500 Avios in First. (Also check LGA-BOS availability on US, if desired.)
