This maybe of interest for some Scandinavians. According to Googleflight TAP uses a Airbus 330 with lie-flat on the leg VIE-LIS.

"You are not allowed to earn or spend points on the following flightranges, OS2000 - OS2999, OS7000 - OS9999."
Meaning that the TP operated flights do not earn points
Other programs are likely different though, and there are many programs that earn at 100% for P on OS

OS P class accrues miles at 100% to SK Eurobonus, but there is unfortunately also this line in the earnings table
"You are not allowed to earn or spend points on the following flightranges, OS2000 - OS2999, OS7000 - OS9999."

*A earnings does depend on metal, and the booking class of the operating carrier. The "P" booking class on the TP flight is with an OS code so it will be mapped to some other class on TP, and that is what credit will be based on. P on TP is a low economy according to EuroBonus earning tables, so it will be something diffent and I believe all TP business class fares gives 200% to EuroBonus.

With travel date some 6 months out be prepared for schedule & equipment changes. Great lie-flat find for an intra-EU trip though. Hope it sticks!

Yes I am hesitant to book this due to the probability of equipment change. Why is there an A330 on this route those dates ? Or is it a regular occurence due to cargo demand ?
As mentioned above, on *A the points crediting are solely from the operating carrier. So one needs to find what fare in TP the OS P fare map into (and this can be something surprising and unexpected) and then figure the credit from there. It is likely this would go to a regular business class fare and thus earns 150/200 % on most programs

The TP A330 usually runs on the VIE rotation between South America runs but has on occasion been swapped with AMS. So equipment changes do happen depending on South American operations. Don't buy this fare purely for the lie-flat part of it, although the fare is not at all bad anyway and round trip could be a lucrative SK or A3 mileage earner.
LH-group P class maps to the lowest business class on TP, which is J and will credit 200% to most *A schemes.

I am not that familiar with SK but I assume you are referring to the code-share flights excluded by OS. It's this BS that really turns me off *A these days. You never really know where you stand and sometimes it's even impossible to know what you will earn for a given ticket before you have booked it. This will only get worse from here until some minimum transparency is regulated. If airlines form an alliance then they should bloody well behave like they want to respect each others customers and not try and use it as a marketing vehicle to deceive or mislead.

Sorry for the off-topic chat.
