Understand from most consolidators ex-USA (at least the few I have spoken to) that their fares cannot use any upgradable instruments to go into F...however, I would like to be corrected!
And if so, then stay with UA MP (earning EQM's on OS+LH) and/or go with Miles & More to gain benefit of automatic upgrades with them (they have always upgraded their own members before me, and I have never been upgraded on LH using my UA 1P or UA 1K status)
