Thanks for the response, glad to see I'm getting some feedback....

Terms of this certificate indicate it is good for any UA flight (not codeshares) within the United States. Therefore FRA wouldn't work.

The cheapest UA/LH fares involve flying LH in S class which only net 50% miles in the US Dividend Miles program.


I'm considering another US run to MUC in Feb/Mar for another 13k miles. Yes, it is US coach transatlantic, but at least I know I'd get the full miles.
