Then, lodging and ground transportation are the next mysteries to solve. HA!

Thanks

Nothing wrong with that.
We chase down biz class too. In the last 10 years, I have flown 50+ long haul flights, and only been in the back once.
We do it differently than most though. I like to avoid places like AMS and CDG. I know they have lots of flights, but that also means lots of nonrevs. Easier to have a cancelled flight as well, when you have dozens of other flights to move pax to.
Had a friend who was doing CDG-IND on a Wednesday recently, and on Tuesday he was #1 on the list. Next day he was #60. I really do not like that unpredictability.
I use FRA a lot. Great connections to anywhere on LH. I tend to use airports with just a single flight, or only a few(DUS, BRU, etc). A lot easier to manage loads.

As for lodging and transport, we generally use bus and metro, and we have been using Airbnb a lot.
