They are also offering a five percent discount on private jet flights booked from March 1 on routes beyond Germany’s borders.

So, 12 short hops by private jet would net 600,000 miles (and most importantly, HON Circle status). While that is obviously going to cost more than to earn 600,000 miles flying LH commercial, if it is indeed correct that each passenger earns miles then the cost could be shared between 4 passengers on the Cessna Citation CJ1+ (netting a total of 2.4 million miles and HON for 4).

It might be a world first - mileage running by private jet!
that's too good to be true. my guess is that you will get 10.000 status and award miles as usual per leg and 40.000 award miles on top as the anniversary bonus. moreover i guess there will be a limitation of legs for that promotion (probably max 4 or 6 legs)
LH/M&M won't make it possible to become HON that easy!
