How do you get from NWI to FRA?
(We don't have flights to FRA, so getting to FRA would mean a double-hop via AMS...)
As for flying via JER... yes, definitely a daft idea. Especially bearing in mind that the Channel Islands are extremely fog-prone (I have plenty of first-hand experience of that), so you could end up being stuck there for days instead of heading off to wherever you were hoping to go. (Though there are worse places to get stuck than L'Horizon Hotel down the road from Jersey Airport...)
