Several months back I read in a thread under either Star or LH or UA something about booking a flight with one FF number from say UA and at the gate have the agent enter the LH FF number for the flight. I can hardly recall any of this as it was several months ago and I could be wrong about the whole matter as I wasn't that deeply into mile collecting back then but I believe that Rudi was giving some info (to either Bernie or Mizu and I could be wrong again) about the advantages and disadvantages of Miles Plus and Miles&More. Does anyone recall this?
Yep - because Rudi mentioned it again very recently. See

Yes I've worked it out but I don't think I'm going. I have Uni starting in 2 weeks and the Olympic torch passes only 50 metres from my house on Saturday which to be honest is a once in a lifetime thing. I also have a number of work related things due soon and I couldn't get them to pay for the RTW ticket (although money is the least of the concern). Sure I could do it but I suppose I need a FT bit of insipration and even with that, I don't see me making it. Still, there'll be plenty more bonuses in my lifetime.
