United Airways discontinued as HON miles
Starting April 1st 2006 United Airlines flight don't anymore for HON Statusmiles 
Living in the US it will be hard to maintain status.....Makes no sense to fly LH from PHL to SFO

Its no different from SQ or NZ or NH or ... not counting for HON. It would be nice if they were included (in which case I'd qualify) but I can understand why miles & more doesnt include them.

Not that I need it, ( we are all * gold with BD until summer 2007 already ), and in summer 06 we do a nice ex TIP trip in F which generates again gold until summer 2008 and enough miles for the next F award, but curious with LH, who gets the mail and who not.

FAQs: Stopover and lounge access
As the rules change so often and I lost the overview, I have two questions:
- Stopover: WAW-FRA-KIX - PVG - HKG-ZRH-WAW.
Is the intended stopover in PVG allowed?
- Lounge access for SEN: What are the official rules?
Are we still entitled to bring in a guest or not?
Are we still allowed to use the lounges when flying a non * carrier?

Can bring a guest who must be flying same-day departing flight on *A (or in case of LH-operated lounges an M&M partner).
As always, subject to availability (eg can be denied due to space issues).

are you sure? I´ve got the impression that a SEN can (always) bring a guest to LH-lounge whether the guest is flying *A or not.

At the "official" Lounge site it is stated that a SEN needs simply the SEN card to enter. And it is stated:
"Senators, Frequent Travellers and Star Gold cardholders are entitled to take one guest each into their lounge."
Thus: No further requirements for the guest, in my opinion.

i also thought that sen's can bring in one guest and use the lounges regardless of the carrier they are flying with.
however, recently in berlin, they refused me to use the lounge because i did not fly *
same situation with the stop over that i asked a few posts before: once i get the stop over, on another time they refuse to give it...

A few days ago I was on a one day trip to VIE with Germanwings. I was finished earlier as expected and so I had to wait 2 hours at the airport. I wanted to enter the SEN Lounge, presented my SEN Card. The lady asked for my bording pass. I told her that I do not fly with them and she kicked me out. She told me that the rules have changed and I need a *A Ticket to enter.
