I think the reward comparability is woefully out of date and I may drop it all together as there are too many differences (e.g. LH M&M North America program is different than German program for rewards; with all the different types of rewards, it gets a bit much to make a valid average comparison--when the Star Alliance reward charts are available for every airline I might do a comparison of Star Alliance rewards across the airlines--may be some easily measurable differences then.

Under SK EuroBonus in your chart you say:

"econo miles for discount business class"

As far as I know, this is only true for flights on Air Canada.

You are correct Hagbard. All other business fares on all other Star airlines will earn 200% when credit the miles into SK EuroBonus.

thanks--change made

And you might want to make one small change to the AirNZ Gold Elite international upgrades box -
when using certificates (2 per year), upgrades from economy to business can be confirmed up to 1 year before departure, upgrades from business to first up to 72 hrs before departure, and all Gole Elite certificates are fully transferable (as opposed to the regular Gold ones which aren't)

Cheers, Zac

All changes including LH changes made.

Time to start updating all over again. We know a few things about upgrades on Air Canada's top tiers but not much more. Please update me on any changes to the following chart as your packages come in.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

thank you very much Cliff.

LH miles&more: qualifying periods now calendar years (no longer any 12 subsequent months).

UA MP 1K/1P: RCC drink coupons seem to have gone - F/C customers only.

UA Prem/Prem Exec/1K get tier bonus on all LH flights (used to be only code shares).

UA Prem/Prem Exec/1K get tier bonus on all LH flights (used to be only code shares).

I believe it is 'only' on all LH transatlantic flights.
