When does LH release its cheapest fares for direct flights to FRA/MUC? I'm planning to travel to MUC in early December and it seems really erratic. Two weeks ago, the lowest fare across all dates was 200€, then it dropped to 150€ a week ago, and now it's back to 200€. The advertised 120€ fares are nowhere to be seen.

It will be possible to book one ways awards using LH/M&M miles with M&M partner airlines such as UA after 1 September. One way awards will cost 50% of the miles. Here is an announcement on M&M website.
http://www.miles-and-more.com/online...en&cid=1000243
M&M's flight award chart may be found here.
You will need 80,000 miles in Economy, 135,000 miles in Business and 210,000 miles in First, plus taxes and surcharges between ORD and BKK. One way awards will cost 50%.

Where before offers UK>>BEG were 169rtn, now they start from 209... and then you can't even find those anywhere.

The most ridiculous thing is that the BEG-MUC return costs 200€ in Economy Saver, while BEG-MUC-HAM return costs 210€ at the same tariff.

Hi,
I'll be flying with LH from Asia to Germany next month. If I first register for Miles & More when I check in for my departing flight, how soon I could start spending the miles collected during this trip? I'd like to do some shoppings at the Worldshop in FRA before taking my return flight about 10 days later.
Thanks.

Just booked a Lufthansa flight LHR-FRA-NRT. In the past I've put my Lufthansa points into BMI, but now they've been taken over by BA, wondering if I should sign up for Miles&More.
Are there any special new member bonuses, or referral bonuses at the moment?

Fifo or lifo
Does airlines (and LH) usa FIFO (first in first out) or LIFO (last in first out) in their miles programs?
for example:
i flew 2 flights and the validation of the miles are 2 years
1. earned 1000 miles on 1/1/10
2.earned 2000 miles on 1/1/11
when i book an award ticket that costs 500 miles on 31/12/11 (for the example...don't get excited..)
would the miles go out of the miles i earned on the last or first flight?
Thanks!

Unlike some US-based programs, M&M does not allow routing from North America to Asia via Europe for the same number of miles as North America to Asia across the Pacific. You will be charged (at least) for 3-region awards.

Unfortunately there is no special new member bonus or referral bonus that I know of at present.

Need an expert opinion here: booked SFO-DEL round trip in Nov-Dec using Citi TYPs (Connexions Loyalty Travel Solutions)
Slip of attention - booked one week more than needed, need to change the start date.
Now - how do I fix with the least damage?
Called the agency - $250+$50 fee per ticket
Called LH - can't change anything until arrived to India
What kind of change fees they'd charge on ground in DEL? (I will have three weeks till desired return date)
BTW - online at LH I see the "Cancel" button, but don't dare to complete - do I have a chance to really cancel and get the refund ?
Thanks
