Austrian T bookingclass and Eurobonus
Hi,
I did the mistake of booking LX but operated by OS with T booking class. Now I have read somewhere that within the Lufthansa groups all booking classes are harmonised, i.e. they map onto each other.
Interestingly, at least to me, was that booking class T earns:
on LH 125 points/25%
on LX 25%
on OS 0
Does anybody know why the earnings are different even though these are similar booking classes? Is there some logic to it?
Thanks!

Compare e.g. booking class 'E' on LH and LX. 'E' is PE on LH and earns a good amount of points while 'E' on LX is a cheap Economy fare.

As noted earlier, there are many cases of earning tables that make you wonder who wrote them. P class is another great example for *A, it might earn 200% or 0% depending on the FFP.
As for the LH group, you would need to include LO and SN as well. As Jainzar noted, the tables are not harmonized.

Until recently I believe you would've been able to confirm the 'real' OS bookingclass using myflightsapp, but after the LH-group has blocked access to amadeus info for 3rd parties I think your only option to be completely sure, before going to the airport, is to call OS and ask them.
It doesn't answer you question, but you should be able to find out where it makes sense to credit the flight.

It gives you the minimum amount and the percentage of miles you get. So all you need to know is roughly the distance in miles and that is easily done by e.g. the Great Circle Mapper. The Meilenrechner gives you the miles you earn on M&M. If it happens to be the same multiplier as on EB great, but otherwise only of limited help.

For LH flights I always use https://meilenrechner.de/earn_miles.php?language=eng but it only works for LH flights as far as I know.

I have just gotten 150 points (!!!) from SAS for a LX (T) ticket flight operated by OS; so it indeed seems that LX-T maps onto something else in OS.
Interpreting your comments above, I guess these internal conversion tables are not available publicly, right?
Thanks!

If you have a ticket where is says booking LX booking class T and operating airline is OS, you need to find the booking class translation table in order to know what your OS booking class is, but before that you need the translation table, which I don't know where is.
If I remember correct you can see the operating airline booking class on the boarding card.

Actually, in this case the OS booking class was not shown on the (electronic) LX boarding pass. So in fact I do not know. But still, I am very happy about my 150 miles (0.17% of Diamond).

So did I two weeks ago. 2x150 points!
And you are right. The electronic boarding pass does not show booking class. The printed one does.
In my case it was a pure Austrian-ticket showing Q and W respectively.
