I like to go PE eastbound, C westbound so contemplating LH PE eastbound, UA C westbound. My rationale is UA C on the westbound for distancing in the single window seat vs. LH‘s 2-2-2. Though I have no doubt the LH soft product is superior, I’d be fine just grabbing a few sandwiches in FRA for the journey.
Any insights/suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
Honestly, I wouldn’t crunch the numbers too hard over this. All it takes is one flight to cancel, and your flight will be full at the last minute.
All I’m saying is, when you book it, keep tabs on the seat load periodically, but don’t check it every hour/day it’s not worth the effort.
