LLC Air Asia is the longest I've seen at 370 days.
LH say's: Valid dates are 1 hour from now through the next 361 days.

Thanks for the post.
1. How long is the length of stay?
2. Does this allow stopovers if choosing LX or OS?
3. What are the fees for changes/cancellation?
4. I also hope that SJC is covered. There's a direct flight from FRA to SJC, and I hope LH doesn't kill it.

I will check if it’s possible to stay for more than 24 hours, but this is just something I found in a few minutes.

I can't get this to price with an inbound in March/early April and the outbound in the November/December time range. Is there something in the fare rules about a maximum length of stay?

This is not a *A fare but the ATI+ airlines (UA/AC/LH/OS/LX/SN) only. TP, LO and SK are not a part of it and have their own (rather more attractive) fares.

But these fares...
(1) often have a long stopover in LIS
(2) depart at 6AM if they don't have a stopover, thus in my opinion require a night at a hotel or staying at CPH over night
(3) still have angled seats on MIA-LIS on some flights on the way back
(4) Are more in the area of +1300$ from what I am seeing atm.
Not sure how they are "rather more attractive" especially in a thread on Germany - USA/CAN except for 200% mileage earnings since they book in J?
