Where to credit Lufthansa RTW Business class points

[PeterE]

Hi. My wife and I are both VA Platinum and have booked Lufthansa RTW Business class flights for October 2022. Routing is MEL-SIN on SQ with Swiss code share, SIN-ZUR-LHR on Swiss and DUB-FRA-ATL on LH (then award Delta ATL-ABQ) with UA from ABQ-SFO-MEL. Fare class is P and cost was ca $7000.

We already have around 12,000 Kris Flyer points which would lapse soo after these flight but want advice as to where best to credit the points. There seems no reason to credit anything to VA or UA as we will have reciprocal benefits with UA from here on in anyway.

The various sectors on the ticket are not broken out to show fares for each sector so it makes it hard to work out what Lufthansa Miles & More points would be accrued and whether SA Gold could be reached. All advice greatly appreciated thanks

My ‘go to’ program these days is Aeroplan… good availability, and a wide range of non-star partners making redemption opportunities easy, even when star carriers are sold out (for example etihad and gulf air).

Topping up points is easy through regular 100% bonus sales (the last promo at 100% put europe return from australia in business class for ~AUD3800)

If it helps, you can probably work out what fare classes you're booked on using this post as a guide:

With the Lufthansa Group global fares you can add multiple fflter #s and you can chose which star alliance program to earn pointsin as well as which *A fflyer program you want for status benfits. You can also QF sectors. eg my last usage of this fare precovid was QF ADL-SYD, SYD-HKG LX...
