Is it worth dishing out 75k UA miles on a Lufthansa OW first class to TLV stopping in FRA for 10 hrs?
Have to keep in mind - A: There's basically no availability to TLV (besides this), period.  B: Ticket prices are through the roof (well over $1200).
Take business and spend a night in ZRH etc

Impossible, considering my dates.  In this specific case, "a night" would mean Shabbos, and than arriving late Erev Yomtov...

PlatinumGuy, you amazingly always come through!  :)  Thank you!
Take business and spend a night in ZRH etc
You meant biz. from ZRH-TLV, correct?  Cuz, I'm not seeing any biz. avail. NYC-ZRH...
Also, when you "spend a night in ZRH", in this case Shabbos, can that be done as a stopover?  Or does UA not allow any s/o on OW?
The 22:45 motzei shabbos ZRH TLV isn't available?
Oh wow, you're right! Though it's 27,500 miles :(, is it worth the extra 10k (considering the reg. economy at 17.5k)? That would make my total cost for the OW to TLV at 57k miles!!

Shabbos is out at ~8pm, does that leave ample time to get from the frum area of Zurich to the airport?

There is a 10 minute train.

Very worth it. Take a 10 minute train to the central train station, Bahnof. Stroll down the Bahnoff Strausse to the lake and back.

Assuming you're coming from NY, try something like NYC-VIE/LIS/FRA/YUL/BRU-ZRH; there should always be something available.

The PH Zurich is a 15 min walk from the KAJ shul. Enjoy having the staff empty out your room come check out time shabbos afternoon.

Officially a stopover can only be <24 on a one way, however with enough HUCA it can be done. Your cost will be 40/60k UA for eco/biz

If you find availability on UA metal, you can also book a flight dept Friday so the stop owl be less than 24 hours, then SDC onto Thursdays flight



BTW, isn't the US 21:15 flight avail motse shabbos erev sukkos? Shouldn't be a problem if you stay close by.

Thanks so much!

None come up on a UA search, though are you saying that you would fly a biz with a stop over econ w/o a stop??!
The PH Zurich is a 15 min walk from the KAJ shul. Enjoy having the staff empty out your room come check out time shabbos afternoon.
PH Zurich? What's that?  I'd be staying at someones apt in the frum area (more than that I have no clue), how far is that from the  ZRH airport?
If you find availability on UA metal, you can also book a flight dept Friday so the stop owl be less than 24 hours, then SDC onto Thursdays flight
Can you elaborate, I'm not understanding..  If I leave Friday, I can't get there before Shabbos!
BTW, isn't the US 21:15 flight avail motse shabbos erev sukkos? Shouldn't be a problem if you stay close by.
I don't see any such flight. From NYC??? I guess your'e talking about PHL, which is avail in Biz, but A)I'd have to be close by, and B) it arrives 2:15 pm on Erev Y"T... :-\

On a separate note, do you think it's worth spending 75k miles to experience the FRA first class terminal?!

Depending where you are in frum area, you typically take a < 10 mins ride with trams (9, 14,...) To Zurich HB (HauptBahnhoff =  central station).
From there you have regular 7 min rides to the airport.

I get what you're saying with that, but there are no flights on Friday routing through ZRH for some reason.  Why would it have to be on UA metal?
Also, in addition to the earlier questions, how would I get the phone fee waived? ;)

If a flight from the USA to FRA is on UA in F, and continues on to TLV with LH also in F, does that grant access into the LH FRA F.C. Terminal??

How's the United Global First (on a Boeing 777-200), anything more significant than business?

TIA

-Yes.

I hvae a couple of questions:


 1) I'm flying F SIN-FRA, overnighting in Frankfurt, then flying FRA-ORD on UA F. Would I be able to access the FCT in Frankfurt on my outbound flight?


 2) If I switch my flight to FRA-MUC, MUC-ORD on LH F would I get access? My question is based on the highest class of service intra- europe being J.



 3) Slightly OT, but can I get a KSML in SIN first class lounge?


Thanks

In general you are allowed into the lounge if you have traveled First in the last 24 hours or the last "day" from my experience. How long is your stopover?

   It's less than 24 hours. From SIN-FRA I'm traveling on SQ though.

My bad, I read your post too fast. I didn't realize you weren't flying LH at all. I don't believe you'd be allowed to enter the LH First Terminal unless you were flying Lufthansa or Swiss.

Thanks, I was looking for this kind of page.

If you book Fra-muc-ord you will get in as you are continuing from MUC with F.... You only get in if you fly LH or LX F
