Anyone knows how many points to upgrade from biz to first on Lufthansa (Europe to US) using United miles? Couldn't find online

I don’t think you can use Miles for that, only GPUs (or PlusPoints as they are now called).

Lufthansa doesn’t release First Class awards to partner airlines until about 15 days before departure.

Thanks called United. Range is 30k to 40k miles

A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
