Do it the second way, LH MM number in the system, use the card for lounge access. Should not pose a problem (but check that the number wasn't overwritten by lounge dragons).

Priority boarding is not a problem IME.
Only thing you might lose is *G seating privileges, which I don't think is that important as long as you make sure to check in as soon as it opens.

Thanks, this is helpful! So I have just to flash the plastic KF Gold card to both FRA security staff and LH airside staff to get fast track security and priority bording?

Thanks! I have a 2 day layover in KEF, but if UA will check my main bag all the way through to VIE when I get to EWR, I'll do that.

You may need it in the BP for the priority boarding.

How about using only SAS app for lounge access in Vienna (Austrian) and New York plus Frankfurt (Lufthansa)?

I still don’t receive Gold card from SAS but there’s picture and barcode of card on the app.

Simple question, but does Lufthansa only run the short-haul config A321 between FRA and BEY?

Do they ever fly anything with a lie flat seat/similar in J?

LH IT is notoriously bad, the Eurowings is their cheap end, so hardly surprising that their IT is cheap & not up to date.
The email stating the new departure time was sent by the OTA. Funny thing, today I logged into "checkmytrip" and the flight (the one that was moved) to Dusseldorf has been cancelled completely. Called ANA, had a nice chat with an offer for a replacement flight (instead Nuremberg - Dusseldorf - Narita -> Nuremberg - Frankfurt - Haneda), but sadly they are not allowed to change the booking on their own. Have to contact the OTA. Well, but if the OTA does not respond (which is possible due to the reputation), they said they will find a way to change the flight on their own.
As calling the OTA didn't work, tried contact form now. Let's see what's happening.

Hello All, I have about 13,000 Lufthansa M&M miles. Not sure what I can use them for as they are not enough for a flight nor does it seem they can be transferred out. I have a decent Mileage Plus account that I mainly use, along with other main US carrier programs. I am based in the US. Thanks

I see that all the OS flights from Germany to GRZ were cancelled today. Best option might be to send them a DM on Twitter. Your rerouting options would involve MUC (LH) or VIE (OS).

O good, please don't flame me. Yes, I searched. If I book a LH Classic Economy fare which comes with one piece of free baggage, will I get a second complimentary one as a UA 1*G?
We want to do three, four inexpensive European r/t ex FRA before continuing to Japan, but we have 4 suitcases. Unless I can convince the FRA Airport Hilton to store a couple of pieces
for me during the trips I would be stuck paying extra. Although that could probably be mitigated by using the Amex Plat card.

Yes, you will be given an allowance of 2x23kg.
