But still - if you are looking for a real experience and you don't do this regularly and arrival time in FRA isn't your priority then take SQ, I took JFK - FRA - SIN connecting to CGK and it was a great, great flight in Raffles Class, try to get a seat in the upper deck by the way. I loved this flight because it allowed my during the short stop in FRA to stock on German newspapers and magazines since I am German, great stuff.
