EK doesn't fly anymore JFK-HAM, but UA has a nonstop flight EWR-HAM. If you want to go to Lübeck, HAM will be the closest airport.
It's not a theme park because you can't ride on anything, but it is because you're there for a model airport and model railway. I'll pass.
I know that EK hasn't plied that route for a few years now, hence lamenting about not taking it earlier. As for Luebeck, does the airport have any intra-Germany flights, or is the Wuppertal-Lubeck train the best way to go? I'd be keen to check off German airlines too (already logged Lufthansa).
Danke, everyone
