Actually KL Plat is the answer - too bad you can't add to your current status.
For *A flights, ajinlondon is correct - go with LH.
Check out this thread which answered some of my own questions concerning the same subject earlier this year:

I chose LH.
Note that LH miles expire after 3 years unless you're elite of have LH credit card.

As it stands we don't know what your goals are or what class of service you'll be in.
I wouldn't touch LH Miles & More if you're flying economy.
If your goal is status, you're a hair's breath from Star Alliance Gold with those flights credited to Air Canada.

Thanks for the advise. All the flights are economy as I am travelling for pleaseure rather than business. My goals are really to acheive the best number of miles to use as an award. It should hopefully equate to a European flight.
It is a shame they are not eith KL as Ihad notched up a good collection of points but will lose my Gold status in January!
