As of now 100% is right, however we should unfortunately expect that A3 at some point will lower the earnings on sk. As of now the earnings when flying SK is bigger when crediting to A3 than when crediting to eurobonus even if you are top tier at SK. This will most likely change at some point.

Hi all,
I'm new to Aegean Miles & Bonus, and trying to build up status with them. Having read all the advice so far, I booked a r/t flight with SAS Airlines from ARN-HKG in late Jan. It's in O class and would have earned 9000 Eurobonus miles.
Question is, how much would this earn in Miles & Bonus as I've credited it to Aegean? Any ideas?
If anyone has any advice how to survive a SAS Y longhaul flight, do let me know!
Thanks,
howarsan

As for surviving in Y class with SAS - if you are really kee on staus earning and have the cash you can get reasonably priced upgrades to Y+ on longhaul which SHOULD earn 200% miles if I am not mistaken (I did read somewhere that there can be problems with this so do search first).

Lufthansa Business Class - P
Hey Guys,
To my big surprise, Lufthansa P class (Business Class) is not in accrual for Aegean Airlines. Has anybody ever had experience with this booking class, and can provide a logical explanation why this class is not in their accrual scheme?
I understand heavily discounted economy classes should not be accounted for, but surel Business Class should at least give 100% of the miles flown? Any thoughts?

LH (& UA, where you'll find a similar story) do not pay A3 anything for P class fare purchases. This is a discounted business fare on which LH do not consider they make enough money to able to do so. The unfairness and downright deception here is obvious to most, but it's nothing to do with A3, it's entirely down to LH.
If A3 don't get paid, nor do you ...!

For the future I can recommend flying Austrian or Swiss if you have to fly in P rather than Z - both do earn (a little) with Miles+Bonus.

As for LH P class, it earns on other programs (UA comes to mind). So, is it LH's fault that their P fares don't earn on A3, or is it A3's fault for not allowing it to be credited?

UA P class (as well as all their Business Class fares) earn 100% on A3. IIRC, that wasn't the case a few years ago.

UA & LH co-operate extensively on TATL routes, and I imagine have a JV in place. I would think AC are also part of that. When the co-operation is that close, cross FFP earning is also likely to align. As A3 is not part of that agreement, it will have less influence. There is no doubt in my mind that LH are paying A3 little or nothing for their discounted fares.
It's no secret in the airline industry that the most profitable cabin is Economy Plus, where the airlines have the best balance of income/seat density/service costs which is why you're more likely to see the discounted fares in those cabins earn compared to Y & J.

P class IME is a LH anomaly and you have to watch very carefully what you are booking as sometimes even the higher flexible business fares can book in to P class. M&M members refer to it as punishment class - even they get hugely reduced mileage but they at least get something. My solution to it has been to avoid LH, loyalty cuts both ways.

Guys, I have an upcoming LHR to PVG via IST on B class and return PVG to ATH via IST on S class, all with Turkish. I got the miles from the TK website and applied the factors (100% and 70%) as on the A3 website to a total of 12334 miles.
Just wondering if my calculations are correct?

Edit: The difference is to explain as following: B-cl will get 125% of miles with TK M&S and if you took this amount you got the wrong amount of miles...
