I have FR membership and they have a decent redemption rules. Challenge is to get redemption is not easy. You need to mail in the form and follow up on phone with them.

They allow redemption on LH and SQ flights as well.

I've used my Air india board passes to get mileage credit from Miles and More (Lufthansa) (no status miles though).

Also if you fly air india in "A" category (discounted First class) Miles and More does not give any mileage credit. Although with the recent devaluation of Miles and More I am guessing my future flights will be credited to FR.

Air india requires 180k miles for RT Del-ORD in J. Lufthansa used to be 160k and now is 185k miles.
