I fly that route a couple of times a year--I would not fly anyone else.
As a UA flyer, are you getting the same bonus miles when on LH across the Atlantic in economy as you would on UA metal? On UA or AA that would be around 24,000 miles total on a round trip ticket if you're midtier or higher.

AA offers FRA from DFW or ORD. They do not offer service to Munich, so you'd have to use a partner (BA from London would be one option). You cannot accrue AA miles on BA across the Atlantic from the U.S., though there could be changes in that come October.
