Compared to these, the US airlines are models of technological efficiency.
Also to add: I apparently have a Miles and More account but the website just tells me "A technical error occurred" when I try to log in.
Still waiting for most European carriers to allow booking an open jaw online. There's one, either EI or FI, can't recall which it was, where I succeeded in doing it via kayak.com, but it can't be done directly on the airline site.
