Help with figuring out flight from SFO to IBZ
Apologies if this isn't in the right thread.
I would greatly appreciate the assistance from the FT community in figuring out my optimal RT flight from SFO to Ibiza.
Need to arrive in Ibiza morning-early afternoon on 6/30/16 (so I would look to depart SFO on 6/29).
Depart IBZ on 7/5/16.
I have 101K points on Delta where I just attained Silver status.
I have 82K points on AA (no status).
I would ideally like to fly on an airline where I can get the most maximum points on either Delta or AA but that's balanced by cost & flight itinerary. I see a lot of doable flights on AirBerlin for around $1576 but I've never flown that airline.

Are there any flights that get you there before 17:00 on 6/30? I'm not seeing any that don't involve multiple connections and departing at 10am on 6/29.
That aside it all comes down to what fare bucket your tickets will be in. Each fare bucket earns a different rate under different plans. Some of the deep discount fares earn little to no miles and others earn full miles+a bonus for possible status.
