Thanks. That's what I meant. Never been to Alaska (but you knew what I meant

Your itinerary looks great! I was trying to work LH into my award but could only find C on FRA/MUC-LAX and as a lowly non-elite didn't want to take a chance .

I also very consciously steered clear of UA--how sad is that? If only the UA award search engine had an option to omit UA longhaul sectors, not to mention SQ since there's never C or F availability on their longhaul aircraft!
SQ opens a few C seats on long hauls about 1 week out.

You can (kind of) omit UA. When the page of avail flights comes up just scroll down PAST the UA flights down to PARTNER FLIGHTS
