[QUOTE=Zoui21;18336210]I was looking through the UA awards and it does seem like it's really hard to find a 1st class ticket on the 74s. Is there any news on when they're all going to be fitted with the new interior, by what date, because I'm planning on doing this end of 2012 and I want to try to make sure that the chances are really high of me getting the right product.QUOTE] For the refit program, follow this thread.

I think the general consensus is that more seats become available close-in, presumably after they conclude they won't sell them.

Consider LX F as well. I haven't done it, but people really like it. And if you can arrange FRA-ZRH-US, you'll be able to access FCT for your FRA-ZRH leg.
