There are occasionally some pretty big benefits though... LM had TG availability when it was completely blocked by UA a few months ago. And there was the glitch opening Lufthansa first class for booking a whole year in advance. Also some pretty neat deals for 72K miles F class Asia to USA. No one can compete with those prices.
If this was too easy to use and user friendly, it would likely go away quickly. This is a blessing in disguise. LH F for these prices is very good. The screenshot method seems tedious and I haven't tried it, but has anyone successfully booked mixed carriers via phone that do not appear online recently? also economy from us1 to eur1 for 20k all the time is pretty great, just hard to book mixed carrier.
