Looking for Businss Class Award ticket FRA- SEA- ANC in June 2013

I am only coming up with 2 First class seats. BUT the flight SEA to ANC is on United and only really a business cabin even if they call it business first. Are they being crafty again only offering first class awards and not business awards on this trip?

AFAIK LH only loads inventory about 330 days in advance, so you may have to wait a week or two before you see proper availability?

If its a 2 cabin aircraft, UNITED only charges the business class award rate regardless of what the cabin is called. If M&M is trying to charge for a first class award then they M&M are being crafty, not United.

Example
ANC - SEA in F
Conx
SEA - FRA in C
(is a business class TATL ticket

BUT
ANC - SEA in F
Conx
SEA - FRA in F
(is a First class TATL ticket

No difference (except in reverse) as when you fly JFK-FRA / FRA-AMS
Regardless of the class for the JFK-FRA (C or F) , you still only get C from FRA-AMS

IT'S just a marketing thing in the States. They " call" it F but we all know it's C and it should not cost more miles on a 2 cabin aircraft
