Argh! Why do I listen to y'all!
Now I feel like anything other then flying TG F on the return would just be wrong wrong wrong! And the only route making sense that is currently available is BKK-CDG. And from CDG the only thing I could piece together into a UA itin (I believe) is LH F.
AJK, Is this why you spent so much time on the phone with UA while in CNX? You had to piece together a return that didn't fully exist yet at the time?
IIRC, after reviewing my emails, this is how it went down:
1) I booked BKK-CDG in TG F online.
2) I PUTPAC and made it BKK-CDG-FRA-ORD-EWR, adding LH F and UA J.
3) I added USM-BKK (with a stopover for shabbas in BKK
)
4) Then I changed from USM // BKK-CDG-FRA (overnight) FRA-ORD-EWR which I found out was going to be on the old 747 to USM//BKK-CDG-
FRA-MUC-EWR getting rid of overnight and which was going to be a new A340.
5) Then I changed to USM//BKK-CDG-FRA-ORD (overnight) ORD-EWR.
6) Then in FRA, when I found out FRA-ORD was going to be the old F, I changed final segments to FRA-MUC-BOS-LGA to get new F and a cabin to ourselves.
Gosh I was insane in my younger years.
