* Alliance to India in premium class
I'd like to book four flat-bed seats from the U.S. to India in Star Alliance using USAirways miles.

Does anyone know, for example, whether it would be possible to get four award seats in F on LH from Frankfurt to India? Or have any insight as to which routing offers the best chance of good flat-bed award seats? We're willing to book 2 F class and 2 C class if the C class has a flat bed.

SQ has the best product -- could always try your luck -- they are usually tough to book Award tix

I'd take a look above the border there - AC now operates it's A345 a few days per week on the YYZ-DEL nonstop route, with 42 lay flat C cabin seats. It's not a huge C market, so it may work out if you can get in early enough or convince US to "go to bat" with AC for you to get 1 or 2 more D seats released from an empty flight.
I'm not sure lay flat seats from FRA-DEL are worth it - it's a daylight flight of 7 hours duration heading down there for example.

MUC-DEL is operated by LH with a 343 and 'new' flat seats. All other LH India flights are old C. There is plenty of flights into India by LH, so F awards should be no problem. The AC 345 would also be a good option...
