Hi,As you already stated, you can find it on the Lufthansa website..To give you the answer here: No, you can't.Lufthansa is a member of the Star Alliance Group, and you can earn miles from the other Star Alliance airlines.This is the same for Air France, which takes part in SkyTeam, another big group of airlines.I know Emirates has their own frequent flyer system, called Skywards.From my experience with Emirates I would advice to or get a Skywards membership (you can apply online) or forget about the miles and just enjoy your flight! I consider Emirates one of the best airlines in the world, with friendly multilingual staff. I would NEVER choose for Turkish Air or Alitalia instead of Emirates (unless I have to pay the ticket myself maybe..)Hope this info helps.Good luck and enjoy your flights!

No, you won't get mileage credit on your Lufthansa Miles and More account if you fly on Emirates.Lufthansa is a member of Star Alliance and you can only get mileage credit on Star Alliance member airlines' flights. Emirates is not a member of Star Alliance; it has its own frequent flyer program.I suggest that you enrol in the frequent flyer program of Emirates for your flights to accrue mileage credit.Turkish Airlines is a pending member of Star Alliance. Their membership takes effect in 2008. Thus, you won't get mileage credit for your LH MAM account if you fly on TK before its membership in Star takes effect. If you fly on Austrian Airlines (OS), you can get mileage on your LH MAM account as OS is a member of Star. Alitalia (AZ) and Air France (AF) are both members of Sky Team, which has no frequent flyer mileage credit agreement with Star.
