So I will be on a multi segment Biz ticket. It is a UA ticket, but operated by Lufthansa.......So my question is, because I cannot remember, and my searching here is fruitless: We all know that LH flights earn little on TK since 2014 or so, however what of my sole UA segment on a UA ticket operated by LH? I have not had this exact situation in a very long time and generally just credit my LH flights to LH, but that becomes painful to do for one lone segment.

Thoughts and suggestions?

"sole UA segment on a UA ticket operated by LH"- I'm confused.

If flight is operated by LH, miles for LH flights will apply regardless if ticketed by UA. Any flight operated by UA will credit to TK M&S as a UA flight.

To be more clear...................multi segment ticket issued by UA, D class.

Several segments, 4 are UA flights operated on UA metal, 1 is a UA flight operated by LH metal. 6th segment is a TK segment.

Now normally I do not mix up this many airlines on one ticket, but this is what happened. Normally I post TK flights to my M&S account and LH to my M&M account. When I fly other carriers it is based on which I might need more miles on in a given year, or arbitrage on lesser fares where I may get batter miles.............

Anyhow, my point to all this, if it were a UA ticket, on a a UA flight on UA metal I would normally just post to my TK. However as we all know TK gives much less credit for LH flights (and v/v), so my question would be how TK would treat a UA flight operated by LH - mileswise.

It doesn't matter who issue the ticket or whose flight number it is, if it's an LH plane then TK will treat it as an LH flight.

I don't know for certain if D class on United ticket will map to D class on LH (I think it should; you can check this by going to LH website.) If so, TK will credit 150%. Not 200% like some other airlines but also not 0% like P. D class on UA metal also earns 150%. The last flight on TK will also be 150%, unless you're TK elite then it's 175%.

Thanks Monopod, you answered my question, not worth it to break a single flight out then.............

As stated above; as a LH flight.

This I where *A differs from as an example ST. It is always the metal that counts for miles a cruel.

Which can make for some interesting situations like the TATL joint venture between AC and LH.
Not many of LH booking classes maps into the same when on AC metal.
AC changes them and makes sure that it is damn near impossible to find information about what LH maps in to on the AC`s chart. Sighh
