Since I don't have that many upcoming flights within 2025 I guess this would be my best bet, right?
Would have credited it to Asiana, but since the merger is now through this would probably be a waste of miles.
(1) What is your home airport? VIE
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy? mixed, but either Y/Y+ or C
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? 25k-50k
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? nothing on *A
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? priority services when flying the airline
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? Inner-Europe
(7) Preferred Airlines? OS of course high on the list (and IIRC different from LH OS's P class should credit 100% with TK, right?)
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? mostly pleasure
Austrian P fare does indeed credit 100% to Turkish. Another note, minimum 800 miles, not super important to ME, but being central europe based such as yourself 800 miles from Vienna is anywhere from London to Athens, from Copenhagen to Marseille. And that's per segment of course, so if you were so inclined to fly VIE-MUC-CDG that would be 1600 miles. HOWEVER, a word of warning, for someone like myself, KTLR all credit 0%. I'm not sure about R, but IIRC KTL are the most common Lufthansa Group economy fare buckets. I know I've seen a few good LH prices over the years ex-YVR and then immediately threw them away when I saw the earning rates. TK might be a good option for you, I'm not super familiar with the LH group programs, but those would be worth a look of course.
