Out of curiosity, since LHR is only an intermediate stop on my way to the EU, will the likelihood change for an UG from Y-->C if it was LAX-LHR vs LAX-LHR-EU? I can book the last leg separately but would prefer to have it all on 1 PNR.
Each leg on LH takes a GPU, so I would say whatever is closest MUC, FRA or LHR, go there with GPU and fly whatever class intra-europe. Not sure LHR to CDG is worth a GPU
