Delta has released a ton of nonstop business class award space between JFK and Frankfurt to their partner airlines. This flight is operated on an A330-200 with reverse herringbone lie-flat seats.

The best way to book it would be with 50K Virgin Atlantic or 65K Air France miles one-way. Neither of those airlines charge fuel surcharges for these flights if you book one-way or round-trip from the US.

Plus you can transfer Chase points to Virgin Atlantic with a 30% bonus or Citi or Chase points to Air France with a 25% bonus.

From Frankfurt you can book travel elsewhere in Europe using miles with airlines with other, such as United. If you need to overnight near the airport, Hyatt has 2 category 1 properties nearby for just 3,500-6,500 points per night.
