I a looking to go from LAX to Europe next summer in Business. We want to go to the Germany, Poland, Czech area, but anywhere close is fine…trains and cheap inter-Europe flights abound.

I have the following points
135K Amex MR
50K Amex MR (Wife)
200K United
200K AA
200K AA (wife)
40K BA
70K Delta
50K Delta (Wife)

From my research, the best I can do is to transfer 88K points per ticket to ANA and get LAX->WAW round trip with a stopover and an open jaw on LOT. Taxes are $330.

1. Can my wife and I both transfer Amex MR points to my ANA account? I have found information that this used to be possible pre-2014, but nothing conclusive if it is still an option.

2. This seems like a good redemption option to me. Are there any better options?

3. Is LOT Business class decent? I have read a few reviews that indicate that C on a 787 is very comfortable

4. Are there any Premium Economy options? I only found Premium Economy on BA, Virgin and Iberia (limited). Iberia seems like a good deal to Spain (37K points + $~100), but Spin is pretty far from Germany, and there are few planes from LAX that seem to have Premium Economy

Am I missing anything?
