I don´t track LH too closely as I only fly them when it is convenient, but LH has really improved in the past couple of years and HON does seem to be a ¨better than Emerald¨ status that is attainable. Even for SEN LH has been very obliging in the past (more than Emerald).
Flying these past 3 weeks has been such a hassle, though, that I´m seriously considering cutting back and just not flying.
The only thing with *A is that there seems to be an awful lot of *G, so much so that at check-in *G seems to be as long as the Y lines sometimes. OW seems to really have a tiered structure. which seems to have better benefits for people flying on airlines within the alliance other than their own "home" airline. So if you are flying LH as the majority of your travel then as a HON you will be looked after well but you would only be *G on any other *A carriers. In the last year I have flown on all but IB and EI of the OW carriers and I find OW to be a more seamless alliance. Just my $0.02
