Shannon would have been a good option, Since US Immigration Pre-Clearance can be done there & resuming the Flight as a Domestic when landing at JFK...
Not sure Leipzig has US Pre-Clearance Facilities down there...

Maybe the airport taxes mattered there. Manchester and Frankfurt are bigger airport than Leipzig so it think it may have low taxes. :roll:

Definitely the fees at LEJ are lower than at FRA - but would that be a more Advantage then possibly more PAX from FRA. As already mentioned here Cargo seems to be one main reason for LEJ.

On the tender notice 1 + 1 means flight going to JFK and coming back from JFK. So the total number of flights to JFK remain 3 instead of 6 as you have stated.
