bottom line
While this availability already exists, it's not yet widespread by any stretch of the imagination. You need to be very flexible to find the best deals. Even if you don't live near one of these hub airports, or if you want to go to other destinations in Europe, it might still make sense to lock in one of these routes and then add a positioning flight later.
For God's sake, if you find a deal, you should act immediately. When you book through a program like American Airlines AAdvantage, Easily change or redeposit award flights If you change your mind.
While getting great mileage rewards on international business class flights is definitely harder than it used to be, you can still find great deals with patience and flexibility, even if the price of the program keeps changing. Use this list of routes as a great starting point. Good luck and I'll see you in the front cabin.
