From the west coast RSSC put me on Lufthansa to Istanbul. (Well, actually it was TO Athens and FROM Istanbul). SFO-FRA-ATH, and IST-FRA-SFO...
I assume from ORD you would also connect through Frankfurt (or possibly Munich). I would request Star Alliance if you want United Miles (just assuming as you're in Chicago...)
