Transfer Amex/MR to ANA and fly on UA for 88k round trip in biz per person (need "I" space on UA). You can book LH group flights but taxes&fees will be insanely high.

Super helpful, thanks A1!
Option 1: Transfer to Aeroplan or Avianca for Star Alliance redemptions.
Option 2: Transfer to United for redemptions on United metal. More expensive than Option 1, but you’ll get PQP. Can be worth it depending on the difference.
Option 3: Avios Transfer for redemption on Aer Lingus or Iberia.
Option 4: AF/KLM transfer for redemptions there.
Those are generally the best/feasible without getting outrageous rates or surcharges. Based on your route, likely Option 1 or 2, but worth checking all. Make sure to check availability before transferring.
