Best/Lowest *A Redemption Rate in F on LF From FRA/MUC to US?
Hi,
I've checked 3 airlines for award redemption i F from FRA-IAH and it looks like:
UAL: 110,000 miles
M&M: 85,000
AC: 70,000
Do anyone have the redemption rates in a matrix for simpler comparison, or does anyone know the answer?
Also, 30 days in, does everyone basically have the same inventory or does M&M have an advantage?

Don't forget about the fuel surcharges. You're going to pay around $500 for that redemption with either Aeroplan or M&M.
UA and AV do not assess surcharges.

But, I would probably pay 70,000 miles plus $500 using AC over 87,000 miles and no fees using AV.

Do you have or can you get ff miles into these ffp's
Have you checked first class award availability?
If no availability the theoretical ff miles needed is totally irrelevant.
