Posh lad! 
I'll stick with the lager - as someone who's used to drink Carling before Blackburn matches (oh the good-old-days) and having worked for a Burton-based company (with lovely views on the Coors factory's storage tanks ) for several years, I guess that's still an upgrade

haha, I am *A Silver on M&M (LOT) and on Sunday, May 13, will fly thru WAW on my way to LHR, I know that with *A Silver I have access to Polonez, but AFAIK that lounge is in Schengen area, is there any other lounge in non-Schengen I am allowed in? sorry for OT

*As of used by LOT together with all the remaining airlines departing from the non-Schengen wing.
P.S.: which service you're on (or what time you'll be transiting perhaps)? I'm travelling on Sunday and in case I can guest you.

I think you're out of luck with Bolero, the non-Schengen lounge, but all of us based at WAW are waiting for the new non-Schengen LO Business lounge to open (was supposed to be operating by now but you know how these things drag on).

@AlicorporateUK, Bolero is not accepted for Silver (at least that what star alliance app says)... I will fly from OTP on Sunday early morning and unfortunately I have only 1h layover, is not enough to clear the security, visit the lounge and then run again to the gate... LO644 + LO281

I always had smooth connections there... many of them were 35min from domestic to non-schengen... I will start so early because I have to catch my ride to SIN and from there to AKL...

Crediting LH segments to other FFP
Bumping this thread up. So, I'm looking at mixed carrier J trips, where the intra-Europe segments are on LH. Since LH "P" earns zip on A3, I guess there are a few options for earning miles, and I'd appreciate some help/advice.
Thanks in advance!
- Attach A3 number to reservation as usual. Once the flights post to A3, I request credit for the LH "P" segments with another *A program. My concern with this is whether or not the LH flight will show up as "credited" to A3 and thus get denied from earning in the other program. Anyone have any experiences?
- Don't attach any FF numbers. Request retro credit for everything - submit non-LH flights to A3 and the LH flights to another *A program. But, I'm worried about the time it would take for the retro-credit to actually post. Also, I'd lose out on (or, at the very least, have a harder time getting) *G benefits - primarily guest lounge access, but also access to SEN lounges and IRROPS handling.
- Attach A3 number to the non-LH flights only and the *A number to LH flights. While I'd still have the same *G issues, is this even possible?
Thanks in advance!

This is why I almost have a NO fly with LH and LO when possible.
Last week a 300 euros one way economy ticket, they credited 127 miles... big pain ))

I have a LH-booked trip coming up this September, as follows:
ATH-MUC (fare class Q, operated by A3 metal)
MUC-HAM (fare class Q)
and
HAM-MUC (fare class Z, upgraded from H)
MUC-ATH (fare class I, upgraded from H)
Which FFP should I use to credit miles ? LHs Miles & More or A3s Miles & Bonus ?
Of course the last leg gives nothing under any of the two.
Thanks in advance
