Good to see some opportunities from Scandinavia!

100% miles in UA??

Edit to correct previous info...

PS - It DOES accrue miles on UA as it is a intercontinental flight !

I dont think so. I have flown LH L fares on TATL and have received 100% UA miles for both intra-EU and TATL leg of the flight.

+1. You also get the elite bonus, so you get lots of RDMs.

Managed to convince Mrs Joorinainen that we should take a week off and relax at Bogota

Booked two tickets. There are plenty of dates still available and im afraid that this will be killed tomorrow when LH's employees return work after weekend so be quick!

This page - http://www.miles-and-more.com/online...l=en&cid=18002 - shows European flights ('international European flights') in L earn a flat rate of 125 M+M miles per sector, and destinations worldwide (Flights from / to / between non-Eur. destinations) earn 50%, min 500 M+M miles.

However ISTR that posts in the M+M forum say that no mileage is earned on some promotional TATL L fares.

This page - http://www.united.com/page/article/0,,1189,00.html - shows no MP credit for L in Europe but 100% actual miles for L 'within Europe but connecting to a transcontinental flight'.

It does not specifically say what is earned in L outside Europe.

I admit to being confused. Pity there's nothing for LH L in LH-owned BMI Diamond Club.

The rule is if LH doesn't give miles for TATL L classes, you probably won't earn them for UA L, as why would LH give partners miles for L but not its own members?

LH does give miles for L fare, whatever the distance. UA gives miles for LH L class fares on long haul routes and their feeder flights.
