Be careful about the devaluation though, it hit Australia - Asia routes badly, Australia - South Asia was one of the sweet spots for UA mile redemption.
True - but bookings made before 1 Nov can be for a year in advance. But a major advantage is wide-open availability for LH F!
With United Miles, can you book LH F > than 14 days out? edit Yes you can!LH F availability is the only reason I'm considering this.
When it's not available via LM, UA is next best option.

Limited...I found Fra to Bom or Del...can't remember which nowyou can? Have you got an example? I can only find 14 days. Good news if this has been extended.
I don't mind the T-14 days restriction. Always check LM first as it's much better value and only if no availability then go and book via UA.

LH + LM . One blogger suggests LM shows strong LH availability during miles sales (the 2-4-1 offers) which is then withdrawn when the sale finishes. I haven't tested that theory, but ATM LM is blocking almost all LH availability. There's a smattering of flights 1-3 days before departure for TATL, and if very lucky you might find a flight 5 days out. Just about all of Europe to Asia is blocked. UA on the other hand has multiple daily LH flights out of just about everywhere in the USA, and connections to everywhere else from there. And all at 14 days.
I have been waiting for this 100% promo. Need to book a few trips to Thailand next year. UA is a little expensive but I will keep buying for peace of mind. They saved us last month when we needed to have an emergency trip back home in J from Europe.
Topcashback.com gives 2.5% when buying miles for some hotel/airline programs including UA on points.com. Not much but still money
Are you aware of the devaluation later this year?
