Earning TK M&S Status Miles on UA ticketed LH operated flight
Hi FlyerTalk community,
I am intending to fly from Istanbul to the US via Frankfurt on an United Airlines discount ticket ( P class fare & ticket number would start with 016 ) but all segments of this itinerary is operated by Lufthansa. I am curious about if I would earn miles based on the Lufthansa chart ( which means 0 miles for P class ) or as the United chart ( 1.0x miles per distance ). I have never credited a codeshare flight on to my M&S account so help or results of previous experiences would be appreciated. Thanks,

Beware, zero miles for LH P on TK
(but for that much money I couldn't believe it... well, I still had some great flights and the LX + SQ segments scored a lot, altough everything was ticketed by LH).So just beware of P class - LH P doesn't give you an single TK mile. LX P does count, and UA would, too, but as mentioned before it's the operating carrier that matters.
