same "issue" for me, when upgrading ZRH-BOS to F, feeder gives a lot of award miles, and longhaul segment awards distance/booking class-based award+status miles
Ticket was booked on swiss.com with 724- ticket number.

Happy to report that I got the same credit on the return

In the end I got 22602 miles for a ticket that cost me 1821€ (1421€ base fare + 179€ YQ +taxes) and should have earned 9600 miles.🤘

Curious to know if anyone agrees with this prediction and recommendation:

"Miles & More is perpetually thought to be about ready to devalue, so if you do take the plunge, get rid of those miles sooner than later." Source: https://frequentmiler.com/lufthansa-...previous-high/

I have been sitting on my miles for years, never having used any of them. Bad idea?

That prediction is valid for just about any FFP. In general I try to turn around my miles & points within 3 years max. Any longer than that and you risk being screwed.

MUC-FRA-BOM in Y/E upgrade with evoucher again confused the system: distance based on FRA-BOM, but only 240 miles for the FRA MUC.

Return DEL-ZRH-MUC in D credited 8784 miles for the longhaul segment and 372 on the short hop.

In the end 15519 miles for a ticket that cost me 2077€+370€YQ+taxes and should have earned me 14682 miles
