How can I add UA or TK FF number to Air China booking?

I tried almost everything but I failed.

Booking was made on Sabre Portal. I can retrieve booking on TripCase but I cannot add any FF number from there. Travelsky only verifies the booking and nothing else.

Pls help!

You can call CA and have them add it.

You can have it added at check-in.

I'm looking for a way to do it without calling. Cannot do that at Check-in either. There should be any website for it? How can I add seats? See my booking? It's strange they don't allow you to see bookings which are not bought from their own website.

You'll have to make the call if you can't access it via their website. My only CA flight was booked via a corporate TA and I was about to access it online but maybe that's because it was a corporate TA.

What's the problem with check-in? They had no problem entering my OZ # at check-in at the counter and I received all *G benefits.

Checkin is the only option or if you feel adventurous, call in.

Many airlines are like this.

You can email one of their sales offices with your ticket number and frequent flyer number. They will update it for you, although the turnaround time may be a few days.

I actually called them and get the TK FF number added to the booking. However, now not all of those miles are posted for both passengers.

I claimed missing miles on Turkish website, it worked on one account but no miles recovered on other account.
