UA/LH/LX: IAH-JNB 21,000+ mi $717 @ 3.3cpm

Sample dates - November 18-25. Looks like the fare is available through February.

Itinerary goes IAH - FRA - JNB - ZRH - EWR - IAH. All K fares with United, Lufthansa and Swiss, all of which generate 100% EQM. (You will get credit for the miles, you won’t get credit for a segment if you actually care about segments.)

$717, bookable on United.com.

Good fare, but K class only earns 25% of miles -- or am I missing something?

You're missing something.

K class earn 25% RDM, but this is a mileage run, and we care fare more about EQM than RDM. Remember, if you really want RDM, you can buy them for pennies. It's status miles that we care about. Here's the Mileage Plus EQM earnings chart for Lufthansa. Remember to look here, not the RDM earning chart.
