As discussed in another thread, long-haul U class should earn 100% on UA. On most other *A programs inclusing LH/BD/OZ, U class earns 50%. Also U class should be upgradeable with a United printed SWU.
In any case, an excellent fare to EZE valid from many (all?) Lufthansa European destinations.
No changes allowed, but keep in mind LH is quite good at refunding taxes and fees (including YQ) for unused tickets. Base fare is around $300.
