First off I wasn't sure where to post this and Matt suggested this forum.
Lovely Wife(LW) and I got on the super cheap flights to Europe last week and so need a bit of input for flights back. We will be spending 4 days in Paris and returning to LAX on 12/1(I realize this is a popular time to be heading back). My current thoughts are SQ Suites from FRA to JFK then AA F to LAX or LH F from MUC or FRA to LAX. She has never flown international F and so I want to show her that. I have flown both of those. Downsides are waitlisting on SQ(any direct experience with that clearing?) and if we go the LH route waiting until the 15 days before. Any other good(non-American) products I'm missing? EK from Italy?
Strategy wise I am thinking I will either book LH J if I can and hope to move up to F or just waitlist the SQ. It would be a lot of miles but what can you do? Any input is greatly appreciated.
