Covid test documentation
Hi all- am flying tk next week fco-ist-iad. I plan to do the ened proctored home test for reentry to the US. Emed sends a pdf with results results via email. On my last few international trips, the carriers (AA and UA) have had app where I uploaded the test results to verify that I could return to the US. TK doesn’t seem to have such a system- can I just show them the pdf on my phone when I check in at FCO, or do I need to have physical printouts?

US immigration would not care about tests as it's the airlines' responsibility to check tests for US travelers and TK would accept any test that would fit into the criteria.
There is no requirement or portal to upload tests in advance and all tests are manually checked by agents ( answer to OP's question )

US citizens still need a test if they are entering by air but they don't need to be vaccinated. If they don't want to be tested, they need to use land or sea borders.

Seat assignment not showing up
I have a multi-city J ticket (all TK metal booked on thy.com), and my seat assignments for the longhaul flights are fine but something odd is going on with the shorthaul ones. In my app, they show up fine but they show up as empty on EF when I saw my seats correctly as taken not too long ago. I am traveling with a friend on one of the shorthauls, his seat right next to me shows up empty both in MMB and EF. Anyone got a possible explanation to this?

I'm flying a codeshare marketed by Lufthansa but operated by Austrian. Anyone know if it'll credit at the Austrian rate (operating carrier), or the Lufthansa rate (marketing carrier)? Other Star Alliance programs I am in, credit at the operating carrier's rate, regardless of marketing carrier. Is TK the same way?
I bet this has been answered before, and I'm just not using the right search terms, but I can't find the answer. Thanks in advance!
Also, just an FYI for the immediate questions up-thread, effective today, the USA no longer requires negative COVID tests.

Crediting to Krisflyer
I'd like to fly TK to Bangkok in November, preferably out of IAD or EWR/JFK.
Can I credit the miles to my Singapore Krisflyer account? Can this be done when booking online? I've only flown TK a couple times several years ago and don't recall ever seeing where you can add a different membership # other than Miles&Smiles.
Sorry if this been mentioned before, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

One more point here is that also the operating class is what you will get, no the marketing class which you see on the ticket. Nevertheless, on LH and OS, it is supposed to be the same since they are in the same LH group.

Thanks for the advice.
For business class when credited to TK, P booking code earns 0 on Lufthansa, but 100%/800 min. on Austrian flights. Strange that the Lufthansa group would negotiate different earnings for their different subsidiaries! Swiss and Brussels Airlines are also different earnings rates. So odd!
