FRA-EZE available as well
Not quite the same CPM, but if one is interested in Argentina instead, FRA-IAH-EZE €815.11EUR for 20588 miles (€0.0396pm), just over US 5cpm.
As mentioned before, interesting since V fare credits 100% to most programs.
It's even available for the Argentina Do (Cow Do IX) weekend if you're willing to take a 34hr stopover in IAH (or connect/stop through EWR) on the return

Thinking of doing LHR-FRA-IAH-GIG-IAH (Stopover)-ORD-LHR in J come the end of August. Prices out at £2315 ai but I could do with the bonus pqm's as I would like to make 1k this year end, and it makes a very long trip surviveable.
Looking at the fare rules for the Z fare on ef, I see the following in the other conditions:
Z CLASS FARES ACCRUES BASE MILES AND ELITE
STATUE BONUS MILES BUT ARE NOT ELLIGIBLE FOR
CABIN/CLASS OF SERVICE BONUS MILES.
Does this mean that even though the mileage charts show Z fares accrue 150% PQM, this is not the case?

Thanks for the reply.
The mileage calculator agrees with the 150% miles for Z fares, but if I am going to spend £2300 I would prefer it to be for 35796 PQM than 23864 so thought it best to check.
The guys in work think I'm crazy to spend that on a flight, but that 10,000 extra miles means one TATL trip less if I want to make 1K (saving about £700), and I can use the award miles towards getting over to the States next summer when the costs are most prohibitive from the UK (saving anything up to £1000). It also means I only have to do another 16k to get to 1k for the first time.

Not sure where you got that, Z is a legit business fare class. See this thread for details.[/QUOTE]
Where didI get it from? How about here: http://www.flyerguide.com/wiki/index.php/Inventory_Classes_and_Mileage_Eligibility_(AA)
Or here: http://cwsi.net/m/aa.htm
Or the fact that Z is nowhere to be found in the purchased fare classes at AA.com: http://cwsi.net/m/aa.htm
Am I missing something?

Question.
If booked on Ua, but I am Sen at Lufthansa, what is the best optimization in getting miles?
Get it to LH? How many miles is it then?
Or a new account on UA?
Can I use my E-vouchers of LH on UA?
Thanks

To LH you get 100% base + 25% Exec bonus on both LH & UA on this fare. You can calculate for your particular routing on webflyer, not sure what fare the segments in Europe book into.
