Perfect, thank's for the answer!

It's even better since I wanted to credit the miles on my M&M account anyway.

How do I change booking FF mileage credit from MM to Krisflyer?

I booked a flight through the Lufthansa web page. I can't figure out how to change the booking to credit the mileage to my Krisflyer account rather than MM. Help ...

Just show your Krisflyer card at check-in. It is not possible to change in advance/don't bother.

In the future don't log in when booking a flight. That way the M&M number won't be added automatically. You can still add the booking to your account manually after the booking is completed.

Nonsense.

Go to Lufthansa website > My bookings & select specific booking > My booking details > Scroll further down and under "Passengers" tab you find a button "Add/edit frequent flyer card".

I just did the same, switched from M&M to KF.

No such button in my version of that tab. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help. That button does not exist in the 'My bookings' passenger section. I ended up calling and having it changed manually. My flight on this segment originates in Pune and I didn't want to wait to make the change at the airport. I do not trust ANYTHING in India, especially something complicated such as changing an FF number.

UPDATE: Apparently calling and having the call center change the FF number did not work. I've now made three calls. I'm fighting with LH now to get the miles credited to KrisFlyer. I have one more leg of this itinerary that I desperately need to be credited to KrisFlyer. Side note: They misplaced (lost) my luggage. LH uses a private company top fly PNQ->FRA, and I think they forgot to load my luggage on the plane.

Changing the Frequent Flyer Number in my LH Booking

I'm sure this gets asked a lot but was not able to find a recent answer-- I have an LH booking and accidentally put my Miles&More number instead of my TAP *G number. I would like to change the number so that I can select seats. I have not been able to figure this out on the LH, OS, or LX websites.

Is there any way to do this without calling in or waiting until check-in?

if you have booked eco light, your *G will not help you anyway. try flysas.com to change your FF number.

Thanks for this reply. Flysas could not pull up the reservation and neither could United, which I find odd. And I see that seat reservations at least available at check-in, which is good enough for me.

For some reason, LH Group airlines do not allow changing the M&M number once you've added one to the reservation. It is often impossible to change it even during OLCI (for example, on LO).
