But at those prices I'm only planning to do AF one way home from CDG with LH First on the outbounds.
Would it not be better to go AF to CDG and then return LH F via FRA FCT?
One can connect to somewhere from CDG (unless one wants to actually see Paris instead of go through on AF F)

Hmmm
A trip to actually go somewhere besides the plane.
What a novel idea!
Do you book LH F with UA miles or LH miles?
Do they hit you with as much in cancel fees?
I wish I could go along to CDG for the new AF F.
I think 162k is fine for a real F class
Recently had to shell out 175k each way for a family member to go to SYD in UA bz class at the last minute.
I do not think the value or the experience is comparable.
We have been spoiled by EY F and EK F from AA and AS miles
