You can book with TK.
Doesn't TK have fuel surcharge?

I am trying to book a multi city JFK-FRA, 6 hour stopover, FRA-ZRH.

While both flights are available in saver award I am getting 70k+25k, (95k total) Does multi city not allow both flights for 70k total since it's less than a 24 hour stopover?

It used to price out at 70k total in the past

That's simple.. Okay thanks.
No guarantees. But usually they should be able to get that done.

Use advanced search and put in FRA as the preferred connection.

Looks like GS forced T and PZ class awarda don't have the close-in surcharge if XN/IN aren't available.
Such a shame they started limiting these to GS+1 :(

I do not have any United status.  What's the chance that I will be able to upgrade a revenue Y ticket to J for LAX-BOS on a mid-week red-eye?  I'm presuming it's near zero.  :'(
