LH codeshare post the same EQM's
Looking at my UA online itineraries today I’m kind of freaking I may have made a serious mistake. I need just 4.5K more EQM's to reach my one 1K status and thought my trip home from ZRH to TUC was more than enough to make it. To my surprise I see the FRA to SFO leg (the longest) is booked as LH9052 which I know is UA metal flight 901.
Can anyone say if LH9052 (aka: UA0901) will post as normal EQM’s or did I screw up big time and not going to get my 1K?
Thanks,
John

Miles earned are always based on metal flown so should not be a problem. Only caveat would be if trying to upgrade. Can't do until day of departure.

Those codeshare flights normally post to the MP statement with the UA flight number, even when booked with the LH flight number. That said, even if it were on LH metal, the flight would get enough EQMs for you.

That's great to know MW_2000. I thought I read that somewhere here on FT but I have read so much here in the last week I'm starting to question myself (lol).
