Good idea about UA for my Emirates miles, I thought about that...why not build status with them as well
Just keep in mind that Emirates flights will not count for status on UA - only for award miles. Status would have to come from other *A flights, but if you have a year where you don't have to maintain your SEN status, then you can put those flights on your UA account without risk of losing status with LH. But if you have SEN (and thus *A Gold) status anyway, you might not even need status on UA. You just need to earn enough redeemable miles on UA to redeem an award ticket.
