Grazie!
Glad you enjoyed LH you must have experienced them on one of their best days. The worst is when the sandwich can not be identified as such anymore and you are transferring in Frankfurt from an apron position at Z4962345 to A16 (roughly 400 miles and too many signs).

LHs long haul product is nothing to write home about. Not bad, not great just a very consistent delivery of a decent sloped seat C product.

However, my vote clearly goes to *A (not a real surprise this being the M&M forum). There are so many options TATL from TP via SQ to SK and you can also enjoy great products on NZ (LHR-LAX) and the new business class on LX.

In terms of program, if you fly a lot of paid business, then either M&M or BMI DC are your programs. Just don't expect any upgrades when you join them. And don't get a heart attack with the LH fuel surcharges.
