How many miles did you fly this year with Lufthansa?

Hey everybody!

Just wondering how many miles, did you fly this year with Lufthansa.
Curious how "big" road warriors, does Lufthansa has.

I'll start with me:

53.552 miles (i fly Lufthansa internationally) since i am based in the US.

1409 status miles credited to M&M this year from flying activity. Rest credited to other programs for better value, tried to stay out of their planes too.

If you don't mind asking, to which programs did you credit them?
Also why did you try to stay out of their airplanes?

Credit to UA MP.
I'm avoiding LH due to A346 exit row policy, and general pricing ex my airport. Last time LH didn't even want to sell me a ticket, so had to go with 250E cheaper US Airways...

Aaaah, was already waiting for this thread. This year I have flown around 180.000 miles on LH/OS/LX. Which is around 20% of what I had previously flown on LH group year-after-year.

Why? Because I am sick of LH's move from a successful relationship-model with its best customers (which worked well for me) to a transactional view of the world. Hardly any upgrades anymore (I do not book J-fares), ever increasing fuel surcharges on awards, loss of miles value, booking guarantee only on J-fares, etc. etc.

Who got my business? Mostly EY and EK. Around 600.000 miles between those two airlines. They like me, and they want my business.

350k miles this year on LH, about 100k less than usual.
I shifted a lot of business to OneWorld this year for reasons mentioned by CalFlyer.
The transactional behaviour annoys me most.

About 60K... a down year for me. Hoping for 100K next year, since it'll be my year to requalify for SEN.

Sitting now in FRA FCT on a foggy Saturday morning here in Frankfurt waiting for my A380 flight to SFO in First class and while checking my account I was surprised that up to date I scored 386k HON miles.
