I have some friends spending the summer in Sicily, and they invited me to visit. Aside from visiting family in Germany I've never actually "visited" anyone in Europe, so figured I'd take advantage of the opportunity. Given that I was going over Memorial Day weekend and booking fairly last minute my best option was Lufthansa…

^ No idea what this says (the German blog trackback) but love that it includes the term "LH Fan-Boy".
Ive all but given up on using usair miles on lh f. Sounds like Ben's travel award service will be seeing some revenue in the neae term.
I got married in Sicily over memorial day weekend! Wish I would have known you'd be in the neighborhood!
Little bit off topic, but an Asiana 777 just crashed in SFO. Scary that plane lost its tail and almost cartwheeled Hope you are safe my friend !

Also,
have you started moderating comments?
I would never "thunk" it of you.
@ ffi -- I don't moderate comments, but when you leave a comment from a new IP it has to be manually approved.
Can you elaborate more on the US-> LH F booking? Is it just simply that the agents don't know it is not supposed to be booked?
@ NYBanker -- It's the same thing it has always been, whereby it can be booked with a manual sell. Some agents still have no problem doing them.
Actually, I got booked into Lufthansa first class, using United miles, on accident in a way. I had originally booked Asiana, and missed my first class flight by reading the time incorrectly. I got on skype and called United,explaining that I had missed my flight, and they apologized and told me the only flight available at first class was Luftansa, the next day. This was in June 2013. There were three of us in FC, two men and me. The flight attendants actually indicated that I could have two first class seats: one for eating at, and one for sleeping. That was the most amazing flight I have ever had in FC.
I don't know if the following information that I told to the agent had any influence: I was moving out of South Korea, as in my last day, and exhausted. I had to be in Dublin in four days for my M.A. in Ed Tech program, and I had never flown in FC before, and would they please find me another FC flight, pretty please. Oh, and my birthday was coming up in August.
At the very least it was the most amazing flight. I slept only for about 2 hours since I was so enthralled with the experience of it all.
