My whole family is from Germany, and as a result I got to explore Europe extensively when I was younger. My mom and I would spend about six weeks in Germany every summer. We’d spend half of that time with family, and the other half of the time exploring Europe, typically a different country each…

Awesome itinerary! Once again, Luck, I get to live vicariously through your travels. You'd better say yes to all the food coming to you! 😉
Looking forward to it! Have a similar itinerary from BKK-CDG on TG F then CDG-FRA on LH F then FRA-EWR LH F in March.
Looking forward to it!
PS: I think for the last leg you meant FRA-ORD not ORD-FRA, right?
One detail I would love to see you add to your list of flights is block time. Granted, if I knew the time differences off the top of my head (and the follow up math), I'd have it. But I'm always interested in how long flights are.
Did you mean Frankfurt to Chicago on the segment below? 🙂
08/11 LH0432, Chicago to Frankfurt, 5:35PM-7:30PM, 747
"07/27 LH0782, Frankfurt to Bangkok, 10:45PM-2:10PM, 320"
Blimey, those A320 aircraft can fly a long way these days ;-).
(Just to prove we do actually read the posts...!)
Ben, how did you convince the U.S. Air rep to book this? I thought they are Starnet blocking Lufthansa F bookings?
Just curious, but how did you gain access to the Virgin Atlantic lounge in NY? Are they a member of any alliance?
@Andy Bluebear
The VS Clubhouse is SQ's partner lounge at JFK. Makes sense considering SQ owns 49% of VS.
That looks great. My wife and I are doing a trip next may to Seoul with an all day layover in fra on the way out, with a stop on the way back in Munich for a day, all in Luft F. I'm excited to see what you liked since this trip lines up pretty well with our plan in some regards (long fra layover and Luft F flights to asia through europe)
@ david -- Fixed, thanks!
@ Eric -- Worry not, when I post the individual installments I always post the flight duration.
@ Lewis -- Nice catch, hah.
@ John -- They weren't doing all that much blocking for a while, but even when they are, it's not impossible to get around it.
@ Andy -- @ BrewerSEA is correct. Singapore first and business class passengers have access to the Virgin Clubhouse.
@ ArizonaGuy -- It's US Airways, c'mon now. Tampa and Chicago are basically co-terminal.
This proposed trip pales in comparison to my WN BWI-CLE-BWI jaunt that I've got coming up in a few weeks!
@Mark - and I hope you comment something snarky on every post for the TR...dick.
@mark hope it also comes with hot nuts and a hot towel ! looking forward to seeing the pics lucky
Hey, did you know that if you type just
One Mile
into the Google search bar, your blog comes up #1 out of 32,000,000 links. At least for me.
I find it remarkable there were 2 F seats on those all intl flights. And you had 3-4 stopovers > 24hrs? And you backtracked to Europe - I thought you could only do US-EU via Asia, not US-EU-Asia-EU-US.
I'm not very familiar with the routing rules, but I am not following how you were able to construct this route within the guidelines, nor how on earth US Air ticketed this routing?
You certainly have their program figured out (sincere compliment).
Lucky - only SQ F pax get into the Clubhouse at JFK. C has to slum it in either the mediocre Oasis or LX lounges.
