This route runs from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Vienna (VIE). There's no nonstop in the award data: every itinerary connects.
Booking San Francisco–Vienna with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The cheapest economy seat connects once, and with no nonstop in the data, extra points can buy a better connection but not a direct flight. Taxes and fees on the economy floor run about $84, above the route's typical economy taxes. Measured against economy, premium economy is about 2.1 times the points and business about triple, though the cheapest business award carries heavy fees.
TAP Miles&Go is cheapest in economy at 19,000 points. American AAdvantage wins premium economy at 40,000 points and business class at 57,500. Alaska Atmos Rewards lists first class from 260,000 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Among the remaining eight programs, United MileagePlus, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Air Canada Aeroplan are good places to cross-check.
No airline shows nonstop award space between San Francisco and Vienna in the data. On points, this is a connecting trip. On a connecting award, the airline named in the price table may fly only one leg, so confirm each segment's operator before moving points.
Leaving San Francisco, San Jose (SJC) costs far more at 44,000 points in economy against the 19,000-point floor and isn't worth it unless SFO has nothing. Out of San Francisco, Atlanta is a cheaper redemption at last check, from 9,500 points. Whichever San Francisco airport you pick, confirm the departure code before transferring points.
