I actually even checked that one. But 125€ for only one segment and 1250 points is not really enticing.

They do, with a real horn section. Always an experience.

As a poor FTer that I am, I was checking and seems like the upgrade availaibility is still at +5 seats for the AY1 Inaugural flight.

Makes it quite tempting. Can get FRA-HEL-LAX-DFW-FRA for ~650€ p.p. Upgrade FRA-HEL-LAX with 50k points. Mrs. Vesseli has brought up the idea of going west coast.

Too much for your liking. I am still not professional (/rich) enough to make it to west coast and back just for MR reasons
