I am UA Silver (lowest of the low ha ha) trying to book multi-stop IAD-CDG | FRA-IAD in business class, but it looks like outbound UA 915 is a two-class 767-300 without lie flat seats.
For the return, I think I'm OK on UA 8827 747-8 (Lufthansa).
Here's my question - I found an AF 027 on a 777-200 that looks lie flat in business, but can't figure out how to book AF outbound and UA return and still get my UA points on the return. I need those points to maintain my lowest of the low status.
Hubby says suck it up and take UA 915 outbound and return UA 8827, but it is really expensive and since we are using real money and not points, it's frustrating to think I have to pay to sit in a "regular" biz class seat when I'm wiling to pay for lie-flat.
Any advice? We've already spent hours trying to figure this out. The airlines don't make it easy...
Thanks in advance.
