Another Star Timetable Glitch

Only just realised that this thing doesn't give legal (for Star RTW's) non-star operated coded flights.
For instance neither AC's TLV-YYZ or TG's TLV-BKK (both operated by ElAl) appear in schedule or in daily timetable windows. Makes it a tad harder to plan some things on RTW's. Anyone have a list of these sort of flights that are legal to use on RTW's but are not in the Electronic T/T ??
I can't see the logic - especially when DE's flights pop up all over the place in the same software and they aren't legal for anything!!!

What do you mean with "they aren't legal for anything?" At least you can earn and redeem M&M miles on DE.

Are the TG Code Shares to TLV actually embargoed?

I make the following TG's embargoed flights for Star RTWs:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
TG: 3100-3118/3120-3122/3200-3207/3211-3216/3218-3223/3240-3245/3250-3253/3301-3302/3321-3322/ 4500-4503/4541-4544/4700-4703/4786-4791/6900-6901/ 6904-6905/6907-6910/6912-6913/6920/6922/6924-6925/7100-7101/7500-7501.</font>
TG Flt Numbers for BKK-TLV are: TG 4593-95

Yes but DE is not a member of Star, and you can nor earn or redeem miles if you are a member of another FFP, I think it is a kind of falls advertising. It should only be shown on Lufthansas own homepage. I think it is fair that Tel-Aviv-BKK is not shown, because it is not operated by a Starmember.

As you can with Calm Air if you're with AC's Aeroplan and as you could with Flight West with AN etc etc, but they don't appear in the timetable.
My point is, only LH members benefit from DE and DE can't be used on Star itineraries, so why are they even in the Star timetable, when flights you *can* use in Star itineraries don't appear there.
That's the conundrum !!
Cheers.

But on the other hand, this flight can be used for a *RTW.
