-- So if i book a F ticket on LH with these miles, i'd need 125k miles? Does this only work on US/LH codeshares?
-- How can I find out about LH/US codeshares? Are LH458/9 MUC-SFO US codeshares?
-- Is there a way I can check F award availability on US/LH codeshares?
-- I Just looked on the USair site: it seems only LH flights ex US air hubs (CLT, PHL) are codeshares or are offered on the site?
Thanks!!!
You can only buy 50K (100K) per account. However, you can also gift 50K(100k) from another account.
So what I did was everyone in my family bought 50K (100K) and then everyone gifted everyone else with 13K (26k)
I ended up with 126K in each account. And that costs $1,862.44.

You need 125K for F to Europe. You can use it on any Star Alliance member. No, It does not need to be a codeshare flight.

To check availability of any Star Alliance Award Flight (except LX) use the ANA Tool.
