Also Flying Blue (not *A, but one of the options) seem to give Gold status for 40K, which seams reasonable. But I've been told that it is harder to earn miles with them, compared to UA.
Bottom line is, that after few days of research I am even more lost then I was initially
I am starting to think that it may not be worth all this trouble...

Well, that is assuming those 50-70K miles are actually qualifying fares, and not discount economy.

If it is that easy for LH we as FTers would be jumpship to LH so that we can get to fly LH F and LX F much easier. The only easy programs to achieve *G are A3 and OZ. A3 is no more as new requirement 4 flights that actually on A3.
