What day? I'm on FRA-IAD in F next week as well.

Another possibility is SFO-SEA-FRA. LH tool shows new config, but no availability for saver award on the SFO-SEA leg, except in Y on a flight with 1 hr connect time, which I think is cutting it too close in SEA. Being in Y on the SFO-SEA flight is not really an issue, but I'd be very concerned about the short connect time.

Should I just be happy w/ the YVR-FRA in old LH F, or grab SEA-FRA w/ the 1 hr connect and hope the earlier SFO-SEA flight opens up before departure? Factor in that there's always a chance of equip swap to old FC and that the earlier SFO-SEA flight is a CRJ, which means schlepping over to T-1 at SFO, which I find to be a major PITA.
SEA-FRA, you can make the A-S connection in 15 minutes.
