Aegean Airlines Miles&Bonus - How many miles?

Hi
I joined M&B recently and have a trip lined up to the US next week. It is with United, but the transatlantic outbound is with continental. I got an email from DC this morning saying that as the 2 airlines had now merged there is only one airline now and so there would be one common set of reward miles for fares (UA and CO previously differed in certain classes). I checked the M&B charts and there are still 2 different reward charts for each airline and they differ quite a lot in some classes.

Does anyone know which will be used to calculate my M&B miles? If it is based on UA, then I would get enough to gain A3*G (I calculated it as 20,592). Maybe someone knows when they will change their reward charts.

Thanks!

Will it be flown as a UA flight number? Has your ticket been automatically rewritten as a UA ticket so that you now have a UA fare class? You will want to check whether you get a UA boarding pass for the flight, which would seem definitive to me since within *A, the metal is what matters for mileage accrual, not codeshares or who markets the flight.

You could try phoning or emailing Aegean to ask, but since you already have the ticket and will fly next week, I would be inclined to wait and see how your miles post. If there is an error in your favor, you do not want to risk calling attention to it.

After the miles post, you will see whether you have made *Gold or need more flights on *A.

The new UA has consolidated on legacy CO's systems, so that might make a difference...

One of the airports I've travelled through since the operating licences merged this week is LIT, where there was a flight leaving for IAH. Obviously this would previously have been CO metal, but the departure gate showed it only as a UA flight with a UA number.

The OP should almost certainly have been re-mapped to a UA fare bucket, and UA earning rules will apply.

Thanks for the responses. It is a UA ticket - before the merger as it is a CO plane that would have determined the miles but now that they are one airline called United (and as NWIflyer says CO flights are now UA) then I hope they use the UA charts. Both BMI and ANA seem to have gone down that route according to their websites.

I hope they continue using the UA chart since it is much more generous for First and Business fares than the Continental chart.

There is no CO anymore. All the flights are UA now with UA number. Therefore, the UA table should apply.

Thanks all - and as it turns out they just updated the M&B page to say that Continental rules wont be applied after March 2nd.
