Turkish Cheap Economy Fares: No non-M&S Earnings!

More a complaint than anything else: Despite the long routes they fly, their cheapest Economy fare buckets UW earn only 25% with M&S and 0% with all others. Really harsh to find out if you didn't know in advance...

Did I understand right that the cheapo LH Business class tickets (P) do not give you any TK earnings, so no sense in using the TK card unless I need extra baggage? I have no LH status or points at the moment.

The concept of one mile flown = 1 redeemable mile is LONG gone. With all airlines...

Correct.
You need OS or LX P class to earn 100% flown miles.

Ok, thanks! I was about to contact LH to ask them to add the TK card number to the bookings, but looks like it would be useless.

This is pretty much standard with most airlines.
