Thinking of "Coming Over" from LH
I'm currently a Lufthansa M&M member, but it seems that UA is better. What do you think, is the grass greener on the other side?
Admittedly, I only signed up to LH M&M a few weeks ago, and haven't flown on Star Alliance yet (not until July actually). Would I be able to tell LH that I'm now a UA member (if I jump ship
), and have them put the miles for my LH flights into my UA account instead?
Also, while I'm at it. LH has a few codeshare flights with Air Dolomiti and Air Malta. Two of my flights might be with these two, as a LH codeshare. Would I get UA points from these?

I am happy I made the switch. YMMV.

Upgrade CO flight using MM miles
I have 16K orphan miles with MM. I have a continental flight planned for later this summer that I would like to upgrade part of it using those orphan miles. The MM chart shows that Y, B, and other economy fares are upgradeable but does not specify those booking classes, while the continental chart breaks it down by booking class with miles and co-pays. I know I have to use the MM chart but are there any co-pays associated with using the MM miles? Also does anyone know what Continental booking classes are upgradeable if using MM miles?

Enough flying to achieve status on LH/UA?
Hi
I am flying between Germany and Ukraine on LH in economy often. I won't get status in 2012, but would like to see if I can achieve status in 2013. I estimate I will do about 7-8 return trips in 2013.
My flights are from either Leipzig or Berlin, so an outbound leg looks like this:
TXL-MUC-KBP
TXL-FRA-KBP
TXL-DUS-KBP
LEJ-FRA-KBP
(and of crourse the reverse on the way back).
I live in Germany.
Which FF program am I better off putting my miles on?
Thanks!
