I booked the flight and Orbitz asked me for my frequent flyer #, which is a good start However, I don't know the booking class, it does not show on Orbitz ... flights are all on Star Alliance: United-Lufthansa-US Airways...I'll wait and see.

An insider (with access to the booking system) just told me that it is booking class S on UA and LH. Any idea how many miles (5,169 + 5220 = 10,389 , S-class = x% of this??)...
Depends on the FF program for which you want the miles; you didn't say whose you gave. In bmi Diamond Club, for example, S class earns 1 mile per mile flown on UA, 0.5 on LH. It varies from one program to another. Each program's Web site can generally tell you how many miles you earn per mile flown by airline and fare class.
