Nope, the accrual rates are factors. 875mi x2 segments x200/100 accrual factor

Hi All,
I've searched the threads for the answer to this question and I think I have got the bad news right but just want to check.
I am 7429 miles short of Gold requalification so I booked a 4-legged LH trip in D class earning 2000 miles per sector. The problem that has just occurred to me is that VCE-MUC is operated by Air Dolomiti and appears to be an LH codeshare not an LH wetlease flight (it's LH9457 which is EN8203). From what I understand, I won't earn any miles with A3 for that flight. Is that still correct?
If that is the case, I'll need to change my flights (fortunately D class is completely flexible) to go back via FRA with a 5-hour layover or add a hop via MUC in there somewhere.
Any insight gratefully received. I have over a month to sort this out so it's not too dramatic yet but I'm glad I thought of it now!

LH flights operated by EW, EN, IQ, CL earn miles according to LH table in A3 chart.

According to my post#1, it used to be OK, based on which airlines that are LH "owned":
However, OP is 2,5 years old so you should consult someone with more recent experiences.

You might be right taking the safe route.
If someone posted such detailed info, I'm pretty sure it trumps the more generic conclusion stated in the first post. I will add a note of caution to post1, while we wait for any further comments in the thread.

I'm still hoping that I'll get some recent, concrete experience from someone.The only annoying thing for me is that I booked via united.com so that I could avoid LH's "optional" ticketing fee. Booking was nice and easy but attempting to change the flights results in an error every time.
Looks like I'll have to ring UA and see how it'll work with changing. The only other option is to cancel and re-book but I'm so nervous about cancelling flights that I know I'll need seats on. It's probably just an irrational fear as I'm not used to booking flexible tickets. Ha ha!

Not really personal experience, but I remember that last year when I was still in Italy and needed to fly to Germany, I read in the LH/M&M forum numerous posts that claimed that Air Dolomiti code shares are NOT considered *A flights (i.e. no miles!).

) to make sure I get enough miles to cover my renewal. If I end up 2000 miles over, it's not as dramatic as missing out by 1500 miles!

This post seems to explain how to know if it is a *A or not. The logic used is finding out if EN is marketing carrier too, then the LH codeshare won't earn. If EN does not market the route, then it earns.
The example given coincides with the LH9xxx observation (perhaps this is the post you've seen before).

A3 calculates SIN-BKK as 886 miles.
A roundtrip in TG J would net you 3544 miles.
