Yes. Flew from GRZ to MUC on LH Cityline (actually an Austrian Arrows plane) and it posted properly - well, at least after a few weeks of hassle...

To follow up. I had a V fare. It took two attempts to get PQM posted, but PQD did not. Had to escalate to get PQD posted. Very annoying that so much effort is required for something that is supposed to happen automatically. Probably would not have bothered, but I will have similar flights in the future, and I wanted to make sure they will be PQD eligible.

Lufthansa Cityline was originally Lufthansa's regional brand not unlike what United Express is to United. But, in a more recent effort to circumvent union issues, LH management started flying some longhaul flights on the Lufthansa Cityline certificate with Cityline crew. The planes have a lot more seats in them and are all painted in Star Alliance livery instead of the usual LH colors, and the crew are paid less than LH mainline, but otherwise, it should be the same LH service and not much of a noticeable difference from any other flight.

Yes, you will earn RDMs and PQMs based on LH fare class

PQDs -- only on 016 ticket stock
PQMs -- ticket stock does not matter
RDMs -- earnings depend on ticket stock, on 016 stock based PQDs and on non-016 stock based miles traveled
------ multipliers based on fare class or status, see LH MP earnings

If this is now the standard for Lufthansa, so be it.

My experience is that the Cityline flights Post like regular Lufthansa. In fact, they show as "Lufthansa" in my mileage activity.
