Lufthansa P class etc..

Hi everyone,

I currently have 110k at lufthansa Miles and More and about 70k Amex points.

For 2024 I managed to book very cheap flights on business class / first class (with money), but the problem is the booking classes:
Air india - Copenhagen to Delhi return - Z Class
Swiss - Oslo to Hong Kong (via Zurich) - P Class
Lufthansa - Hong Kong to Oslo (via Frankfurt) - A class, J class


If I credit these flights to Lufthansa Miles and More, I will reach their silver status (which I think is useless as I dont need lounge access). I won't get that many miles, especially for the Lufthansa/swiss flights, because it is based on the flight price.


What would you think is the best option I have?

1. Open a miles+bonus account (aegean). I will get a decent amount of miles and it is quite easy to reach status if it is ever of importance to me. I can also use this club to book award flights.
2. join Krisflyer. will get less miles compared to Aegean and the redemption prices are higher. However, I can add my amex points to Kris and then have a decent amout of miles, compred to Aegean where I will only have miles from flying.
3. Another club i am not aware of?


Or is it better to ditch the miles credit to luftahnsa at least for the qualifying points etc?


thank you!

My inclination would be to say go with Aegean but where are you based? Getting award flights with them outside of Europe isn't always possible.
