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:
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?

- on LH metal to try LH's business class product

*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?

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.

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
Thanks again.

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?

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.
