Depart on either Friday and Saturday, 2-day trip, there is a 100 min turnaround at BOM. $840, ~20,700 miles, or 4.05 cpm. All UA fight numbers (codeshare for ZRH-BOM). There is a lot of availability in January and February 2015, too.

Do not agree. You will get PQM and PQS and elite bonus, you may have to fight for PQD if it is posted as "Ineligible" after completing flights.

The important line on that page: The award miles accrued on codeshare flights are based on the operating carrier and their equivalent fare class.

The fact remains that under United's program, you will NOT get PQM or PQS on any LX or LH operated flight if you've booked a K class ticket. Period.
I think we both agree we'd really hate to see someone who needed 20k to get 1k status end up 10k short because they assumed incorrectly.
