I have now had a very long talk with the people at Lufthansa. I am in the process of costing like for like trips and if we see what they are promising it looks like the deal will be that we switch to Star Allaince with Lufthansa cards. This means they wll get the business of me, my mum and dad who are both Gold, my staff who are all just about to move up to Gold level.
The guy I spoke to was really good and understanding what our needs were and explained everything very well.
Just sending him a overview of our travel over the last 12 months and we will see what happens from here.
