I believe it is all Lufthansa ticketed so using M&M doesn't seem the best place to credit it but thanks to the P fare class I'm not sure Aegean, Turkish or Asiana are any good either?
If it helps I'm flying Paris to Frankfurt and then to Singapore with fare class P with Lufthansa before fare class J Air New Zealand to Auckland. On the return it is Singapore Airlines D fare class AKL to SIN and then Swiss P class SIN to ZRH and ZRH to CDG.
  • Star Alliance credits based on operating carrier (OW used marketing carrier-flight number)
  • Star Alliance code shares do not always map 1 to 1 with fare booking class's. You never know what the fare booking class will be on the operating carrier. Hence earnings can be a unknown (more of a problem on cheaper economy fares)
  • Who issued the ticket (LH) is irrelevant in most ffp's
So you have
CDG-FRA-SIN-AKL on LH(P) LH(P) NZ(D)
AKL-SIN-ZRH-CDG on SQ(P) LX(P) LX(P)

Are these native flights on each airline or codeshare? [LHxxx, SQxxx, NZxxxx or something different]
