All 106 Lufthansa longhaul planes now feature fully flat beds in Business Class, following the completion of Lufthansa’s four-year retrofit.
That’s great news since Lufthansa offers a ton of transatlantic Business Class award space that you can book with United, or any other Star Alliance, miles.
Lufthansa serves 18 American destinations.
If you don’t live in one of those, you can connect to the United hubs easily in United First Class for zero extra miles. Lufthansa has great connections from its Frankfurt and Munich hubs throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
Check this recent post comparing which Star Alliance miles are best for booking Business Class awards to Europe. Hint: it’s not United miles!
Just getting started in the world of points and miles? The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for you to start with.
With a bonus of 60,000 points after $4,000 spend in the first 3 months, 5x points on travel booked through the Chase Travel Portal and 3x points on restaurants, streaming services, and online groceries (excluding Target, Walmart, and wholesale clubs), this card truly cannot be beat for getting started!

it’s surprising Lufthansa didn’t use an all aisle access product for the retrofit…
They’re getting ready for their next retrofit 😉

I cannot find any business availability on Lufthansa on UAL site or Aeroplan site in Mid-2016. Is this because Lufthansa does not release seats till much closer in?
