Can you do the same for the LH? If I book a flight on LH and if the segment (e.g.; HND-FRA) is booked with LH code-shared flight number, can I call LH to change it back to the original NH flight number so that I could apply PP?
No, you can't do that with LH the same way you can with UA. Best is to find a TA who can issue the ticket with a native NH flight number.
