I get my last flight of the year to requalify on the 22nd of November.

CDG-ATH-SKG rtn to get the flights in...painful but ok!

I hope all goes smoothly; will I need to call to confirm I have completed the 4 flights by the 23rd, or will it automatically roll over?

It's 2023, it's all automatic (actually, since more than 20 years ago...).

I was more worried that it was so close to the deadline, sometimes, miles don't post straight away.

I have more flights on LH/LX the following week, so would like to still have my status.

They do not post straight away (Though, with one day to spare, they might still be on time before the 24th). I'm going to be in the same situation but fully expect to be downgraded on the 24th and re-upgraded/corrected a few days later.

4 segments is four flights. For the second question, it’s neither? Are you talking about moving to the next tier or retaining an existing tier?

SK is moving to sky team from *A. There goes my annual qualification plan of taking a PE flight from US to ATH for an annual Greek vacation.

I suspect any move will take quite a while, SK is still an administrative mess which will take along time to sort out before they can even begin to work on changing alliances.

It does fragment my travel too though, particularly in Norway where there isn't much choice.

Within Europe there still are a few classics. For example Austrian in business (non-P) will get you 8K miles for a single roundtrip (Having a transfer at VIE).

TK in H gives you 100%, but no idea what that corresponds to in dollars.

United has LH/OS codeshares for PE for 1500, but it’s impossible to know the underlying fare bucket, which makes them a risky proposition. I can’t get the same flights to book direct through ITA without having them upfared into J.

Ah yes, the codeshare-bucket issue. Is there some chart out there which would map a marketed fare class to its partner-operated fare class? Perhaps this information is in a GDS, or IATA document somewhere.

I don't think so, in fact I'm not sure that this is even stable from month to month or reservation to reservation.
