EDIT: Apologies! This should go to the United MP forum. Can a mod pls help move it there? Thanks!

Hello, was wondering if someone could help shed some light on this.

I have two LH tickets, bought separately:

1) LH201 TXL-FRA, L-class
2) LH772 FRA-BKK, V-class

Though both of these were bought separately, I'll be flying TXL-FRA-BKK on the same day (ie, FRA only as transfer point).

So the question is, will I get the Elite Status Miles on TXL-FRA, since it is L-class connecting to a transcon? Or will LH/MP refuse because they're not on the same ticket? (which doesn't make sense to me).

Thanks so much!
