LHR-USA F Class summer fares - from GBP1768++ UA (also LH codeshares) BA AA - A class
January 7th, 2009 by smith
GBP 1768++ LON-NYC
GBP 1998++ LON-LAX/SFO
For a more comfortable ride, the UA fare allows for LH-operated codeshares via Germany...
Quite a nice deal for paid F ex LHR...
28day advance purchse (14days for AA), last travel from the UK to the US on 31AUG. 3M (12M for BA) maximum stay. Sat night min stay. Tickets have to be issued by 08JUL (or within 3 days after reservation).
If you maximize the routing on the UA fare, you can easily pack more than 20.000 base miles in there - which yields a lot of miles in LH M/M or BD Diamond Club.
Checking on LAN without the YQ and with the 3% discount for buying on LAN USA it comes 1840 pounds all in (just increase 70 pounds on taxes) . Not bad. Thanks OP^
lets say credit to BMI 6800+ RT x 625% = 42000+ miles
for $3600 (thru LAN w/o YQ)= 8.5 cpm.
A smart routing would improve things, of course.
Inversely, the miles might conservatively be valued at $ 840 @ 2 cpm,
so RT in F for under $3K net. A bit rich for me, I would probably still
choose to burn miles for TATL F (if you can get it !).
And then there is the other problem of joining BMI as US resident,
which I need to research once again.......
Keep the advance purchase or minimum stay in mind and try again on the United website. Otherwise, feel free to PM me if you need further assistance.
LH M&M yields more than 65.000 miles if you are already FTL or SEN - so roughly 2/3s for your SEN (re-)qualification.
BD yields more than 125.000 miles if you are already DC Gold and above the 55K threshold.
Quite a good value while flying in international First class. Of course it is more expensive than Y, but you ride in comfort and do not need to burn miles or upgrade certs with this fare.

Um, if these are first class fares, why would anyone have/want to upgrade? :rolleyes:

How do you calculate the 65k on M&M ?
Which routing did you chose ?
Thanks for the correction.
That does change the math....down to 3 cpm !! :p
Which routing did you chose ?
You can easily fit more than 20.000 miles flown into the r/t, for example by backtracking from DEN to the east coast and then over to SFO/LAX.
UA and LH F class earns 325% with the executive bonus in M&M.
have I missed a special offer button somewhere?
