Roughly 5,090 miles separate Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and Frankfurt Airport (FRA), so a nonstop spends about 10h45 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. The nonstop award space in the data is split between Lufthansa and Condor. The Airbus A340-300 appears on some of those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 2% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
The cabin call comes first on Seattle–Frankfurt; on a long-haul trip, the right program follows from it. The cheapest economy seat is a Lufthansa nonstop booked through the airline's own program, so saving points costs no extra time. That seat adds about $414 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so weigh points and cash together before booking. The middle step, premium economy, costs about 224 times economy; business costs about 625 times.
Lufthansa Miles & More wins economy at 88 points and premium economy at 19,731, both on Lufthansa nonstops. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes business class at 55,000 points. Its first-class fare from 70,000 points connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Among the remaining nine programs, American AAdvantage, Air Canada Aeroplan, and United MileagePlus are good places to cross-check.
Two airlines show nonstop award space between Seattle and Frankfurt: Lufthansa and Condor. As a Star Alliance member, Lufthansa also sells its nonstop through alliance partners, not only Lufthansa Miles & More. Off the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Vancouver, Munich, and London. The lowest business-class award here is a oneworld partner booking: British Airways seats through Alaska Atmos Rewards.
Before transferring points, confirm the departure airport: Seattle awards can also leave from Everett's Paine Field (PAE). Seattle has no cheaper long-haul route tracked; Amsterdam is next, from 15,000 points at last check. For a shorter trip from Seattle, Anchorage and Atlanta are tracked too.
