Usually, you can find good prices in the winter (UA has a 'sale') going on right now. Or wait until a long weekend and double EQM, just go for a few days and come right back.

I think this is good advice... FRA is a great trip to build up miles.. either turn around and come back on next flight (classic MR) or stay for a day or two and enjoy mini vacation. Immigration control is easy... Nice trip.... If you get another Dbl EQM then that is outstanding way to get towards your elite target.
