Believe it or not, Lufthansa flies direct SEA to FRA. (Don't you guys read my posts?? I reported this several months ago. ) Since my sister and her friend are taking it the week after our return, I decided to stay with an American airline, keep the money at home, so to speak. I would have liked to go on CAL, but it has configured the 777 as 3-3-3. My husband doesn't care, but I just don't like the idea of leaning up against a stranger for 10 hours.
