Alaska Airlines mIles problems
Anybody else has the same problems: the miles collected with Alaska Airlines, never show up by themself on my FB account, even when booking the ticket and doing the check-in, I always state my FB number.

I'm not sure that DL-coded Alaska-operated flights will earn anything in Flying Blue...even though Alaska is, independently of its arrangement with Delta, also a Flying Blue partner. But based on the wording on the Flying Blue website, it seems to be a combination of carriers and codes that falls outside the earning possibilities.
In FB, for Delta, it says:
You can earn Miles on all flights marketed DL, AF, KL or SkyTeam and operated by Delta Air Lines
...suggesting that DL-coded flights operated by Alaska are not FB mileage earning.
In FB, for Alaska, it says:
You can earn Miles on all flights marketed AS, QX, AF or KL and operated by Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air
...suggesting that DL-coded flights operated by Alaska are not FB mileage earning.
I would therefore be very interested to hear if you manage to get DL-coded but AS-operated flights to credit in Flying Blue.
It might be safer, in this instance, to book these flights under their AS codes (for which you would at least earn Award Miles, but not Level Miles).

You bring up a very interesting point there.

interesting reply. I never read into such a detail. The thing is also, that i am to lazy and unorganised to request miles. Usually the AS flights are in the middle legs of my trip. I will trx to find some borading passes, which are not more than 5 months old and file a claim. All the flights were always under DL code.
Lets see what happened.

I just called FB about this today. It took having to bring my boarding passes into the Crown lounge to get AS 867 credited into my account.
Even though it was printed as DL 7553 in my itinerary, I got award miles, but not level miles.

Nice - Seattle to Kahului!
Could you clarify for us, though, please - which flight number appeared on your boarding pass? AS867 or DL7553?
Note that you can never get level miles for AS-coded flights.

I got a new boarding pass at the gate, so it said AS867. Also printed on the left half of the boarding pass (the portion the gate agents usually keep) was "codeshare DL 7553."
Glad I'm going back to OGG via LAX next time on a DL flight.
