Sounds like it should be an amazing trip, wow. Good for you. Lufthansa is really wonderful. I love flying Lufthansa. I was hoping you weren't planning to go BOS-PHL-ATH on US Airways. I don't think Envoy Class could ever hold a candle to Lufthansa's Business Class, its not even like comparing apples to apples. Plus, it'll be so much easier to go from Boston directly across the Ocean rather than flying down to Philadelphia and going through that awful experience. Very exciting for you. I live vicariously through others vacations these days.

I'm not surprised the short hop flights within Greece are so expensive, take the visitors for everything they're worth. Have you ever looked at prices for travel within Argentina? There is the Argentine citizen price, the non Argentine citizen flying an Argentine airline into Argentina price, and then there is the non-Argentine citizen flying a non-Argentine airline into Argentina price. Big difference there. Imagine if the U.S. flags could find a way to charge all European passport holders flying within the U.S. on domestic tickets double the price.
