Eh. 3-class F in general is a vastly better "deal" for miles than J if you compare to revenue tickets, but also still falls to the issue that you don't really "need" the luxury for a comfortable flight.

At that point, the difference is points is basically immaterial unless it's outrageous. Fly F if you want a memorable, excellent flight experience*; fly J if you just want to get to your destination in reasonable comfort. I would second jsloan though that if you have one segment of LH F, it should ex-FRA for the ground service and FCT.


*Certain sub-par F products notwithstanding (looking at you, UA and BA...)
