If you look at CO crediting LH flights they treat Y, B and P as premium economy fares. Same as LH's Miles And More:
Y, B and P (within Germany) 1000 miles + 25% exec bonus (status miles, btw) if are you either FTL, SEN or HON.
I'll take the miles just as they were posted

Yup. E is for steep-discount intra-EU LH. It's the cheapest LH booking class and I rarely see it available, it is sold out so quickly. The rest are award or non-rev classes.

70% Elite miles now on UA/SAA Code Share Economy Flights
I noticed on the Mileage Plus web site that UA/SAA code share flights provide 100% Award Miles but only 70% Elite miles for economy (most classes). I have always received 100% Award and Elite miles so it seems this is an unannounced very recent change. My wife will not be happy as she will end up about 6000 miles short of 1K this year. MR coming up I guess.

See earnings on *A partners thread
Others have noticed this recently over in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...ated-10-a.html
I'm almost positive when I booked my flights a few months ago it listed economy as earning 100% EQM. It's unusual that they didn't note the changes. Also CO has it listed as most economy fares still earning 100%. I have SAA codeshare coming up on the third, I'll let you know of my results. I'm just hoping this is a typo, as it will slightly delay my journey to 1K as well.

Do changes in fares and the change fee accrue miles and EQM on the UA MP card? I changed a return leg and this resulted in an additional charge in the fare as well as the $250 fee to change the ticket. Do either charges accrue MP or EQMs?

Full EQMs on Star Alliance Flights?
Apologies if this is a basic question. I'm short about 10,000 miles to qualify for United Premier Executive. I am planning a trip to India this December on Turkish Airlines, a Star Alliance member. The trip will cover close to 11,000 miles total. I'll be booking on the Turkish Airlines website. Will all those miles qualify as EQMs, thereby pushing me to PE before the end of the year?
Thanks for the help!

Yes, they do. You can see on the United "Earn Miles" page for Turkish Airlines that you earn an EQM per mile flown (hence the 100% in the EQM column), as long as your booking code isn't X, I, O, R, or N.
(You can, by the way, find details on booking codes and whatnot for all partner and alliance airlines here.

Check United's site for details
It totally depends on what fare class you purchase.
Looks good though... Just make sure your Mileage Plus number is on the reservation and that your name exactly matches your MP account (otherwise the miles won't credit).

First, thanks to the moderator for merging my post to the appropriate section. I'm clearly new to FlyerTalk but am now completely addicted to this site.
agarc, RandomTaiwanese, and Shigernafy - thank you for the information. I feel much more comfortable about making this purchase. I would have hated to spend this kind of money and not even achieve PE as a result.
One more question: how can I identify the booking code before purchase? The Turkish Airlines website says the fare type is "Economy Promotional" (i.e., no rerouting or refunds) but does not list a code for the flights.
Hope to one day become as experienced as you guys and dole out the advice to the newcomers...

Just one data point, but keep hope that you will still get 100% EQM you expected from your original booking date.

I also just received 100% Elite credit for my and my wife's economy flight from FRA to JNB even though it specified 70% on the UA web site. That is a big deal for someone who makes that trip about 7 x per year.
