Hi all, I would like to find out how many Krisflyer elite miles I get from flying on an itinerary with Swiss and Lufthansa. Their calculator is only for SQ flights.

Earning miles on partner flights just have a “To find out the miles you can earn from partner frequent flyer programmes, please visit the respective partner’s website for more details.” Okay. So onto Lufthansa’s website, which requires setting up an account to access their calculator (seriously??).

ZRH-HKG on Swiss First class is 34,602 “status miles” in Miles & More. Is this the number that gets used by SQ and multiplied by 200%?

I am unsure because I am worried this 34,602 is already inflated by Swiss for flying in First. The M&M status miles for Business starts at only 5,767 for instance.

I am so thoroughly confused and would appreciate any help. For reference, my itinerary is BUD-ZRH-HKG in Swiss F and HKG-FRA-BUD in Lufthansa F.

As a secondary question, I’m a CX FFP and with a temporary move to Europe, I am looking for just a good place to park *A miles and earn *A Gold as quickly as possible. Is Krisflyer a good account for this? Would welcome any recommendations to look at other *A partner accounts. Though I know this question si better asked in the *A forum.

Thank you so much.
