Lufthansa Cityline via LM

Looking to book NYC-MSQ which typically requires a connection in FRA, WAS, IST or VIE. Only availability via *A on my dates is via FRA on LH1486/LH1487 which are operated by Lufthansa Cityline. Searching for those segments alone on LM I am not seeing any availability but they are showing as available via UA/NH websites.

Anyone have any experience booking itineraries containing Lufthansa Cityline segments using LM miles?

unfortunately, its a well known downside to Lifemiles - that they cannot be redeemed on LH CITYLINE flights as well as many regionals. It sucks - hope they can fix it soon.

this Cityline deficiency is right behind the mixed-cabin booking deficiency of LIFEMILES that needs to be fixed soon.

Thanks. Looks like will be booking a ticket to VNO instead of MSQ. Cheap trains between Vilnius and Minsk and still a good use of LM miles.

That's what I think, too.
Despite the complications (and yes there are many) I still like to sit in a First class seat to europe having paid 1780$ or so when the normal fare would've been 10 times that much. That alone makes me love LM.
