Ha. I think I am going to do it. I only wish the flight were longer so I could appreciate it. I am currently holding business on Qatar, which is meant to be excellent, and it would have been two long flights (Hanoi-Doha and Doha-Houston) but unfortunately the date no longer works for me and there is no availability on my new date. There is availability in first on Lufthansa and Thai but looks like neither will be on planes with their upgraded seats. I read about the lounge in Frankfurt but want the whole experience so will save my miles for when all the planes are upgraded.

btw, this website is fantastic. I wish I was able to travel the way many of you do. I travel a lot for work and personal but never splurge on the flight (I'm tiny and almost always end up with a couple seats to myself in coach). I have Gold status on UA which is good for some stuff like lounge access but it doesn't get me upgrades.
