Can you apply for this card if you have the Miles and More credit card from Barclays. That card has a $79 annual fee and I think its not a mastercard elite card.

Hi, do you know if you can apply for this barclay card also if your bank account is in Germany or Austria? I couldn’t find a link to apply for this credit card or for the terms and conditions. Thanks ChillyMi

expensive card… but the ability to book Lufthansa F from US to Africa far in advance is a great perk. the fuel surcharges are a killer but the LH F – FCT – LH F is worth it in my opinion.

also, not many people know this but on many miles & more award tickets the YQ on biz flights is higher than YQ on F flights… not sure why because it makes no sense. so LH F all the way. 🙂

Lantean- what would be the best routing for LH F – FCT – LH F I mean to maximize the time or value from such an award? What is a good sweet spot, assuming you had the miles? And something that’s exUS.

generally the FRA-JNB route used the be the hardest
one to get because it was and A380… now the aircraft on that route seems to be all over the place. it prices at 145k m&m + YQ one way.

if you don’t want to go to Africa then i think the best bang for your buck is flying USA-FRA-BKK-SYD… with the last segment in Thai F. this should theoretically be possible for 105k m&m + YQ one way… but I don’t know if anyone has ever tried it if Lufthansa agents allow this routing. maybe look on FT if anyone has ever reported success.

but it should never be about the journey, always about the destination… 😉
just go where you need to go…
