A note about the airfare

We are flying from Seatac to Frankfurt nonstop. The flight will take 10 hours. I looked daily for the airfare from the first of the year. I paid $950 x 3. I've never seen a cheaper fare than that for nonstop Lufthansa in May. If I were willing for us to fly with a transfer, I could have paid $850 or so. I don't regret the non-stop premium. Mostly the nonstop fare has been $1200 or more. I booked at the time of a fare sale.

Lufthansa has entertainment centers on the back of the seats. I'm sure I'll have to show my parents how to work them. Luckily, I'll be across the aisle from their window and aisle seat.

I will remind them to pack their cribbage board. That will keep them busy for a few hours.
