Newbie query about EQMs and Premier status
I am a new Premier and a little confused about EQMs (I'm used to BA earning miles and status method).
If I book a trip on either LH or US PHL-LHR in Business class, and let's say the base miles o/w is 3,600 miles. With my Premier (2P) status and traveling in Business class, how many EQM's would I earn?
Would appreciate any clarification.

Across *A (Star Alliance airlines) there is some variation in earning rules. In the case of LH & US, the rules are similar to UA & CO.
Look here for the specific LH rules for earning in UA MP and here for US earning into UA MP.
In both cases you will earning 150% of base miles for EQMs and 125% of base miles for RDMs (except for Z on LH is only 100% base miles RDMs). And in addition because of your 2P you will earn an addition 25% of base miles RDMs.
For the other partners, see Star Alliance partners:
