.I didn't take LH M&M seriously because, like LX and SK, they had an expiring miles policy - miles expired whether or not the account was kept up to date BA-style. Do LH still have this absurd policy?

It was the case with LX and I think LH that miles expired after 3 years no matter what, and SK were similar but with a different time period.
Because of that, I virtually emptied my LX and SK accounts and now concentrate on more user-friendly schemes.

I booked and paid for C-Cabin for both MAN-ZRH and ZRH-JFK(return).
Do you know where I can find the fare class retrospectively - this was an e-ticket.

If it was the dreaded E class, you're sunk. Not valid for BD credit, nor UA as I recently found out.

Also, if you have a Miles&More credit card issued in Germany, your miles never expire.

I looked on expertflyer and it shows E as being "Shuttle Class" - for Transatlantic business this wouldn't apply would it?
