Roughly 5,130 miles separate Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Frankfurt Airport (FRA), so a nonstop spends about 10h50 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Lufthansa and American Airlines both carry nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 787-8 appears on some of those nonstop award segments. Expect mostly connecting results: only about 3% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
The cabin call comes first on Dallas–Frankfurt; on a long-haul trip, the right program follows from it. The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on either carrier costs more. The cheapest economy seat's $319 in taxes and fees is the catch, well above the route's typical economy taxes; more points and less cash can come out ahead. Premium economy runs about 7 times the economy price and business about 30 times. Transfers out of bank programs can't be reversed, so confirm the exact flight is bookable first.
Lufthansa Miles & More wins economy at 1,861 points and premium economy at 12,456. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes business class at 55,000 points. It also lists first class from 70,000 points on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. Among the remaining nine programs, United MileagePlus, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Delta SkyMiles are good places to cross-check.
The Dallas–Frankfurt nonstop is contested on points: Lufthansa (Star Alliance) and American Airlines (oneworld) both show award space. That gives partner currencies from both alliances a way onto a nonstop. If you're open to a stop, the better-priced connecting awards in the data run through Chicago, London, and Houston. Alaska Atmos Rewards sets the business-class floor as a oneworld partner, selling British Airways seats at its own rates.
Neither Dallas nor Frankfurt shows a same-metro alternate airport in the data, so the main airports are the ones to watch. For another option from Dallas, Anchorage prices from 10,000 points at last check. For a shorter trip from Dallas, Cabo San Lucas and Cancun are tracked too.
