Interestingly enough, sometimes creative routing may be cheaper. You just have to play around and see. Last weekend I almost bought a ticket for FRA-CLT via LAX for the same price that FRA-DFW-CLT. Alas I wasn'r sure if I could fly on that date and the fare is now gone.

Nope. Gotta fly to get the points.
