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

Personally I would try to keep your miles in as few programs as possible. If you already have an M&M account you could credit there, but if your main programme is M+B I would stick to that. Miles have much better value if they are in an account with more miles. Or in other words, and M&B account with just a few thousand miles in it is not very valuable at all.

When upgrading an A3 flight with a voucher the ticket is reissued and mileage based on the original booking class are only creditable to M+B.
When using any other program this will not happen automatically.
But as Xandrios said, really depends on your primary program.

I use my A3 number > does not credit > make a claim (posting is automatic, do not have to wait) with miles and more.
