LH does have an L fare, but it seems to be only for cheapo intra-European flights.
Of course, without a definitive map being published, then you are kind of flying blind. If the miles are critical, I would avoid a codeshare.
MODS: Might be a good idea to start a thread where folks can post what they earn for various codeshares? Perhaps enough info can be collected here on FT to provide some sort of clue?
Thanks
pbarnette, I remember reading about 'following the operating carrier'. but as you mention this still leaves you in the blind. I called the OPSC and they said that L in CO flight/operated by LH would equate to LH L, thus no miles accrued. This really does not make any sense.
Agree that a thread on code shares will be needed given that CO has not published (will publish?) a complete accrual table like previosuly with ST.
Also, CO.com needs to update the mileage earning accrual displayed when making reservations. It is misleading that CO flight numbers, booked in CO.com, that show 100% miles, will only provide you half or no miles.
You're right, welcome to *A. I miss the earning miles in all DL code shares with ST flights, not to mention the bonuses...
