trying to fly west coast to Tel Aviv in business, preferably on Austrian or Swiss. ANA (All Nippon) is telling me no award availability with their star alliance partners. When should I look for availability?

this will be my first trip to ha'aretz in more than 5 years.

i don't want to fly LH, would prefer swiss so i can do flatbed-flatbed (77W from LAX/SFO to ZRH and then 330 onward to TLV), or austrian because i have heard their soft product is good. somewhat interested in TK but i don't really want to fly through turkey and their hard product looks kinda janky.

It’s too late in July to book for Jan. You need to do 330 days out for Swiss (not sure on Austrian) for Jan-March to Zurich due to ski season. That’s when I booked.

They only release like 4 J seats to star alliance partners until last minute. You need miles and more points to get better availability or be ok booking 2 weeks out.

I'm currently planning a vacation even more than 330 days out. I occasionally explore transferring my Chase points to an airline awards program, but even if I'm searching for the same award fare I get different results, availability, and prices on different days. This seems like a recipe for madness.

Yep, Chase points are useful for hotels or free domestic coach flights but ljl at anyone wih a normal person schedule getting a biz class international anymore. OPs best bet is to use the Chase booking site, pay for the flight with a mix of ultimate rewards and cash.
