Do all 3 of these "Either at check in, in the lounge or (if you are Silver or above) even on board." Apply if your Silver? If your not silver what are your options?
I'm not going to be completely devastated, but essentially once I do this I'm putting all my eggs in once basket.
My other options are SQ out of FRA (J confirmed) (F Waitlist) or LH out of FRA(J confirmed) 14 days out if there is a shot a (F). I will have the EU Railpass so traveling MXP-FRA via train doesn't add to my cost and timing doesn't really bother me...
This is my first time to Europe (in this case coming back from), I travel once a month(probably logged 200 flights in 6 years) but it's always in the Americas (North, Central and South) so the best I ever get is a Avianca 787 or LATAM 767 lol. Never had the option to fly on an A380 or B747, so I would like to try and take advantage of this. Points are plentiful but I have no desire to spend 4K on F in cash when I can pay 62.5K PTS plus $295 in cash for a J ticket...
