Whats the best F redemption IST - DTW - AMS?
I need to go from Istambul to Detroit then back to Europe (Ams for simplicity).
I'm looking for 1 ticket, in F, departing June 10th and returning around the 5th of july.
I have DL, UA, Aeroplan, AMEX MR, AA, BA miles. Assuming I value them all about the same (DL about 70%), who would have the least expensive first class ticket?
Also, on the return, would it be roughly the same price if i made amsterdam a stop and dubai my destination? I would like to visit dubai and heard that there are some killer first class paid fares from Dubai.
Thanks in advance.

If you have 135k UA miles, you can fly LH F from DTW-IST via FRA RT.
That would be the least amount of $ out of pocket. Aeroplan imposes high fuel surcharges for the same award on LH F.
Delta miles can't be redeemed for F class, J is the highest you can go. With AA, you don't find anything from DTW to Europe without connecting domestically.
