Once. HSV-DFW-FRA-BKK, BKK-NRT-DFW-HSV.

The original plan was HSV-DFW-NRT-BKK and back.

This was during the ice storm that blew ORD completely off the map a few years ago, and messed DFW up pretty good for a few days. The AA phone center tried to tell me the only way I could do it was wait a day and then fly out via ORD. (They hadn't gotten the memo that ORD no longer existed.) The counter agent at the airport, upon hearing that story, punched a few buttons, then handed me tickets to FRA, 12-hour layover in FRA, and then FRA-BKK on TG in J. Not bad.

Flying over Afghanistan and Pakistan was an interesting feeling.

And then, sitting in the (now-closed) FRA Admirals Club, reading the announcement that ORD was still closed, and all flights cancelled, including the flight the AA phone center people tried to tell me I had to take, just iced the cake.
