Thanks
Lan44. Indeed, 325K is a lot so I'm going to do these selectively.

Thank you

LOL. Thanks
darthlemsip. Ouch, you should have gone for the pasta, the only remotely edible USdbaAA non-breakfast meal these days.

Yeah, one guy tried the rocket recline and I whacked the back of the seat such that he brought it up half way. One of these days I'm gonna lose a laptop to these idiots.

I've always hated AF and have avoided them as much as possible for many years now. With that said though, I first saw photos of their new F product here a few months back and I must say it looks stunningly brilliant. I hope the soft product is good enough to match what they have done with the hard product because it truly looks like one of the most soothing and pleasant F cabins I've seen. I will need to try it out one day and thoroughly look forward to your report on it in the future!
It sure beats mileage running in Y.

It's been years/decades since my last AF experience but that new F cabin is just so amazing that I figured I'd have to try it.
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)
Good question
ffI. I debated which way to go since we can get the FCT either way. Decided on doing to return on AF since we'll be in Paris and not connecting... so able to fully experience the CDG FC check-in, lounge, limo.
Do you book LH F with UA miles or LH miles? Do they hit you with as much in cancel fees?
LH miles since that's the only way to book LH First in advance. It's only a $60PP cancellation/redeposit fee.
