As someone who just started flying LH Group (relatively) often this year, I hope they'll also lower the thresholds for earning status, even if that might open the door to status running. Heck, considering the the struggle they are in, they should be very happy if somebody wanted to status run.
I'd probably only reach Frequent Traveler anyway, but with 15 segments through mid-March I'll be kinda pissed if LH only lowers the status retention requirements.

No, I think it's just a fairly limited selection of magazines, even in German. A lot of the magazines you wouldn't even bother just picking up if they were in a lounge somewhere.

AA has given a 12-month status extension and reduced some qualification requirements. So now it's just LH and BA among the major carriers that are holding out on giving any meaningful status extension?

AFKL reduced slightly the elite points needed(around 25%) to maintain the status if the end of the qualifying period was March/April or May.
I imagine that this will now be extended to members that their qualifying period ends in June/July and probably it is more generous for those.
