Great info, I have used LH to fly to Africa and Europe while i was in school. I think i could use a slider to lower my ticket price that all I ever did, and been avoiding them for a while as they were cheaper options if I did layover with LH during this trip. Thank you for making me aware of the LH holdings I will note that for future travels. I think with TA and AC i will use that credit site and the best option for my miles. Since my hub is DFW (AA territory) I can route out Houston to get the most bang for my buck.
