Thank you again, Jasper2009. As I said, I'm new to Miles and More.

My home airport is Seattle - but it doesn't appear on the page as a city from which to begin a bargain itinerary.
Is there any way to get the Seattle-Chicago/NY/etc. initial leg included as part of a bargain itinerary to Europe?
I assume this is not possible, but thought I would ask.

Unfortunately not. M&M Mileage Bargain apply to LH (Group) flights only.

Might be worth buying a cheap round trip Seattle-Chicago or wherever and starting the trip there. But leave enough time between flights for delays and things going wrong etc. On second thoughts, in winter that could be a bit risky!

You certainly can include a domestic leg in the US on United if you pay the normal miles price. But you have to phone the call center because you can only see LH Group availability online.

Strangely enough, I get the blank page on all browsers I use (Chrome, Firefox and even IE). So no more Meilenschnäppchen for me

It only shows "Miles & More", "Meilenschnäppchen" - and then nothing apart "Follow Miles & More" with buttons Facebook (doesn't work), Twitter and LinkedIn...

Could be a flash / java issue?

Nope. I have no problem browsing the meilenschnaeppchen and I neither have Flash nor JRE installed.

OT - For security purposes, I'd recommend uninstalling both of these unless they are required for a specific use. These are legacy technologies, most websites nowadays are just fine using HTML5 and such.

Hi. Did you manage to resolve this? I have exactly the same issue running Firefox on macOS Sierra here.

Does anyone know of an alternative way to access the mileage bargains offering?

Advice needed!

What is the best way to check availability for bargain fare when your M&M account has zero miles? If there are available seats I am going to transfer miles from my SPG account though I don't want to do so until I know for sure. LH website says you don't have enough miles...

Also how big is the chance that I could find 3 seats from EU to US?

You can do a search on M&M being logged in, you don't need to have any miles.

Well, I see availability (picture step1), but when I click "Continue" to check how many miles LH will charge me (55000 bargain or normal amount) I got message "Sorry, but you don't have enough miles on your account for the selected flight. (119230 - 2638)" - picture step2

What I am doing wrong?

How can I insure there 3 seat available for 55000 miles each?

As of now 3 award seats are available on the dates you picked for 55000 miles each - to a SEN at least.

As per Newbierunner's printscreen, you can already see that in the previous step. In the next step, the flights with underlying light blue color are the ones for 55k miles. Here's another printscreen from an account with no status and not enough miles:

There never is a difference in online availability on M&M.com for Blue/FTL/SEN/HON.
