600 000 Status Miles....
I will reach with my next flight 600 000 Status Miles within a 2 year period... undortunately only 50 000 HON miles since I am only “allowed” to fly Y+... all miles flown on LH.... always SEN never HON or will LH honor my loyality and I will get the HON? I am asking this since my spend is over 100K€ and theoretically speaking, since M&M is now revenue based, I believe I have spent more than some HONs? Any experiences?

I have 5 people in my team flying about 8-10 interconti returns in Y+ per year.... but to mention I am the decision taker which airline I fly, etc.... but far that my company has some contracts with LH..... So you believe I should contact M&M and see what they say ?

You have to go via the person in your company that is touch with the LH key account manager. That said don't expect anything. They clearly adjusted the rules to C/F travel only to reduce the number of low value/margin HONs. 100k€ in PE is not the same margin as 72k€ in C/F.

As far as I know: No chance.
They don't make exceptions like that and if they would do an exception for you, they have to tripple or quadruple the number of HONs. The list of celebrities or CEOs of big companies is long, who requested an exception and didn't get one.
They prefer F passengers as HONs, who don't cost anything, because those passengers get most of the perks anyway.
They've invented the Select miles program for heavy non-HON miles flyer.
You could try to change to Eurowings BEST (kind of Y+). As far as I know the only way among to LH train to get HON miles without flying C/F.

Only a part of M&M is revenue based: bonus miles. Status miles (the relevant part here) isn't.

that is actually a very interesting advice... I will check it out although I believe the comfort in Y+ with BA is less in terms of seat etc than LH... I will try it definately though...

BAEC doesn't give you anything. This year I will have enough TP to get BA Gold and other than a gold card, access to their F lounge and the ability to pick a seat for free it gives you squat. Not even evoucher like upgrades!
