Missing Miles claim after Re-routing in KF
In KF, I had a booking for few family members in E Class. The Flight was re-scheduled resulting in a would-be Misconnect ( due to MCT at the connecting airport). The KF Call center gave an option of re-routing and got the ticket re-issued but in X class.
King Club website says No mileage earning in X class. But since this is a INVOL re-routing, would I get at least the original mileage credit?
Any pointers / experience in the forum?
Since miles are pooled in family account, when added for 3, its enough to redeem for a Short sector & KF was only available direct flight in that sector.

Most arlines, as a matter of customer service, do give you at least as many mles as you would have received on the original booking.
However, if you were given an option of a refund or a new booking in anither class, a case can be made for ni miles. IMO, airlines should give the miles even if they have a case for denying those miles.
