I have tried to book CDG-LHR on LH via FRA myself for the same reason (and to avoid BMI) but it ended up being quite expensive.
Almost all cheap/medium-priced tickets AMS/BRU/CDG-LHR booked through LH only allow travel on direct flights.
Yeah, this is what I have been seeing when searching as well.
Anyway, thanks for your answers guys. I think I might reconsider trying to keep EBG, and aim for BA Gold instead considering their restricted business fares are ~EUR220 return.
