Hey Gaucho, Why do you recommend joining the Star Alliance through Lufthanzsa rather than through United? I fly LH almost as much as United, but just assumed that since I am based in the USA, United would be a better choice. Please explain your preferrence for LH. And thanks for the idea...with your response, I';ll explore it!

Mileage Plus is not a bad program. In the end its all about your flying patterns and what fares you pay. If you pay business and first fares, then M&More is the better program because of the bonuses offered once you hit Senator status, not to mention that the premium product on LH is light years ahead of what UA will offer.
