LH is blocking F on its 380s. SQ blocks just about everything and the kitchen sink, so I don't think your US miles will be of much help.

I have seen JFK-FRA on SQ in C have availability, but it's a 744 with space bed, not the newest lie-flat C product that's on the 77Ws.

True, although the MUC FCL experience doesn't come close to what's offered at FRA. Better catering at FRA (Do&Co vs LSG SkyChefs), and the MUC lounge has no windows. That said, the MUC experience is still very nice, just not as good as FRA.

I mean, they are nice seats...but it is still very much a Business Class experience compared to what is offered in First on LH, CX, SQ, NH, etc.
