United MileagePlus vs. Lufthansa Miles&More [merged]
A little background... I am a UA 1K, based in SFO, travel about 50% US domestic, 30% to Europe, 20% to Japan. Given flight patterns and home base UA is my airline of choice.
I am about to embark on a trip to India that will have me exclusively on LH, in C class. I am considering banking the miles from my upcoming trip into a new LH M&M account as opposed to my UA MP account. Having read up on M&M (in this forum an on the LH site) I want to make sure that my mileage accumulation assumptions are correct for my upcoming trip. If you could, please take a look and let me know if I'm incorrect somewhere.
Again this is all in C class and I currently have no status on LH
SFO-MUC 11758 redeemable miles / 11758 Status miles
MUC WAW 1500 / 3000
WAW FRA 1500 / 3000
FRA BOM 8174 / 8174
BOM FRA 8174 / 8174
FRA SFO 11398 / 11398
Assuming the above is correct that would put me at 42504 redeemable miles and 45504 status miles. By the end of the trip I should be an FT. (By comparison, I would be getting 40162 / 26541 if I bank this trip to UA MP)
Is all this correct? Any other advice?
