LH miles & more

True, though I am LH Gold for 5 years now and starting 1st of August this year LH crippled the Miles&More program. Not only do they punish certain Economy fares by giving them 8 times less miles than before, I got less miles on a full fare ticket and less on a Business one I flew the last two weeks. Plus they also reduced the intl. upgrades you can earn to one per year, no matter how much you fly.
MileagePlus is an order of magnitude superior to Miles&More.
