The good news for LH HON: it includes all cabins, so you can get up to 4 F or J seats for an F or J award even when no award inventory is left. The bad news: 200K BIS miles is not even close to achieving HON status unless you are doing that on paid F tickets (probably won't make it on paid J). I forget the numbers but it was about 30 F transatlantic roundtrips to reach HON (I think LH is targetting to have fewer than 2000 HON members world-wide). That might be on a 2 year cycle but still a lofty level.
