Or book something now and then in the T-14 window, switch to LH F (e.g. you can fly the A380 FRA-DEL or 74H FRA-BLR, and the 388/74H from quite a few US cities). Yes you'll pay hefty scamcharges, but it's the one product I can swallow them as it really is a world-class F product in the air and on the ground - the FCT is worth experiencing at least once.
