I am planning a trip to europe (likely Germany) and intend to be there for about 2 weeks. I am a USAir Div Miles member with 40,000 miles currently. I would like to fly first class (obviously) and know I can likely purchase RT on most airlines for approximately $300+/- ATl-FRA. I am willing to choose just about any German or Swiss or Austrian destination.

I am going with a friend and am trying to figure a way we can both fly First Class RT for a reasonable price. I do not care which airline I fly, however, if I were to pay coach airfare, I would prefer Lufthansa over any others.

I need advice on the best ways to try and accomodate my desire to fly in an upgraded status from coach. Do I buy 2 coach airfares on USAir and use my FF miles to upgrade myself and then find a kind soul with a coupon for my travel partner? Do I try to find 2 upgrade coupons on Lufthansa and pay coach airfare and take the double Dividend Miles for a future trip?

Please help...

I am flexible with the destination, the departure and return dates as long as they are January 2004

Thanks
