I guess the other concern is making sure that I don't get codeshare metal when doing this (if I am doing it for the experience).

If I go for the LH 2 weeks out are these going to open up as Saver awards?

If you go through Europe, don't you need to redeem 2 awards to get to Asia? I think you have to get the most direct routing. UA has always charged me two awards for going to Asia through Europe as going through the Pacific is considered the most direct route. You should double check that.
