TK changing to have K as a biz fare, with J becoming an upgrade fare

Air Canada has introduced a new Premium Economy class on a few selected routes. Books into N, E, and O classes.

HI, I am confused about this chart. Does a United ticket bought using the T code but part flying on LH (Lufthansa BOM-FRA and FRA-ORD) acrrue miles on the Mileageplus program for the LH segments also? Many thanks for any response!

steveman518 May 30, 2014 4:22 pm
T code earns 100% on UA MP, as long as none of the travel is exclusively within Europe

While the booking code from UA generally matches up with the code from LH, you generally want to check the booking code on the operating carrier. You earn RDMs and PDMs regardless of where you booked the tickets but PQDs are only earned if you bouth the ticket through UA

IAD-IST award upgrade on LH metal through UA alliance desk
 
Called United Star Alliance Desk to book a trip:
  1. IAD-IST
  2. on Y/B/M economy to be able to use United miles to upgrade to business class
  3. on LH metal to try LH's business class product

When I use KVS tool, if I do a search, I (think) I can see availability for upgrade. But when the UA agent submits for upgrades, it comes back as not available.

I can see that there is P class available on LH 417. And I (think) as long as there is P class on a flight, I should be able to get my Y/B/M upgraded to P.

Can someone confirm/deny this assumption?

Also, what is the best method to search for upgradeable economy (to Business) on LH metal?

*A K class
 
Hi - booking a ticket on United in K class. One way flight is on United and return is on Lufthansa.
I've looked at several *A earning tables and it seems that some earn partial/full miles on United but seems that no one earns K class on Lufthansa.
Is this correct?

joshwex90 Aug 7, 2014 4:03 am
jonj, miles in MP, M&M, or a different program?
You also need to see what fare class the return ticket is on. It may be K on UA, but the operating carrier is what matters, so it matters how LH ticketed the flight.

If the ticket is indeed K on LH, and you are looking to earn MP miles, then you are correct - it will earn no miles.

But you should search the UA forum, as I believe sometimes K on UA converted to T on LH which earns 100% RDMs and PQMs as long as it's not intra-Europe only.

jonj Aug 7, 2014 4:08 am
Hi Josh - thanks for the quick response. I looked at A3, M&M and UA and all said nothing for K. The ticket is in the process of being ticketed and perhaps when it comes through from LH it will show a different fare class.

Thanks again.
Jon

joshwex90 Aug 7, 2014 5:31 am
According to the M&M calculator, a flight operated by LH in K class would earn 963 miles. So it really depends on which program you're trying to earn in.

anandrag Aug 25, 2014 2:55 am
K class on LH -- mileage earning on any airline?
 
Flying k class on LH and believe not eligible for mileage on UA or Aegean. Is it on any other Star carrier? AC?

Thx

fassy Aug 25, 2014 9:52 am
SAS will credit 25% for LH K, at least according to the earning chart: http://www.sas.se/eurobonus/tjana-po...lag/lufthansa/

Aeroplan will not credit any miles for LH K.

How about on LH or TK?

fassy Aug 25, 2014 10:16 am
LH M&M: 25% -> http://www.miles-and-more.com/online...l=en&cid=18002

TK M&S: 0% -> http://www.turkishairlines.com/en-in...able-lufthansa
