'For flight bookings via the booking channel of a Lufthansa Group Airline (Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Eurowings and Brussels Airlines), the following applies:
Award miles = airfare x 4 (or x 6 for members with frequent flyer status)
This method of calculation also applies to flight bookings made through a travel agent or online travel agent, provided that the number of the ticket purchased starts with the following digits: 220 (Lufthansa), 724 (SWISS), 257 (Austrian Airlines), 082 (Brussels Airlines) or if it’s a ticket issued by the Eurowings airline. If you don’t know your ticket number, in most cases you will be able to find it in your confirmation email or on your receipt.'
Abouttimetoo, thank you for chiming in, that's certain enough. That basically match my own experience with Delta over the last 3 years. You earn miles based on revenue as long as:
- you've got 006 ticket (for any airline, issued by anyone)
- you have at least one DL coded flight in your ticket (you earn miles based on revenue on DL flight)
So it looks most certain I would have earned miles based on revenue on my 220 ticket.
