Flying Atlanta to Frankfurt covers about 4,600 miles, linking Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) with Frankfurt Airport (FRA); a nonstop takes roughly 9h45, with winds moving it either way. The nonstop award space in the data is split between Lufthansa and Delta. The Boeing 787-9 appears on some of those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 2% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
Atlanta–Frankfurt is a long-haul trip, so cabin choice shapes the whole booking. Here the lowest economy price is also the quickest trip: a Lufthansa nonstop booked through the airline's own program. That seat adds about $319 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so weigh points and cash together before booking. Premium economy runs about 132 times the economy price and business about 625 times. Before moving bank points anywhere, confirm the seat is bookable, since transfers are one-way.
Lufthansa Miles & More wins economy at 88 points and premium economy at 11,599. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes business class at 55,000 points. It also lists first class from 55,000 points on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. Of the other nine, United MileagePlus, American AAdvantage, and Air Canada Aeroplan are worth a look too.
Nonstop award space on Atlanta–Frankfurt spans two alliances: Lufthansa (Star Alliance) and Delta (SkyTeam). That means partner programs in both alliances have a way onto a nonstop. For connecting options, the better-priced awards in the data connect in Toronto, Chicago, and Charlotte. The business-class floor is a oneworld partner award: Alaska Atmos Rewards prices British Airways seats.
