there are certain LH flights where the GPU strategy is a dicey one, but i would think that more often than not, FRA-DEN would work out well. out of IAD i would not bank on it, particularly since advance R availability is slightly less rare than a hen's tooth on the UA flights to FRA and MUC.
i was going to try a GPU on BLR-FRA-LAX on all LH metal, but i wasn't enough of a gambler given that MUC-IAH had R9 when i booked it. ended up also clearing easily on LH flight BOM-MUC with a largely empty new J cabin, happy day.
