How long for SC's to arrive from Etihad

Heading to Europe on Etihad, the outbound leg will take me to VA Platinum, question is, will the credits arrive within 10 days?

Reason being I'd like to visit the Etihad First lounge on the way back.

Cheers!

I just got back from a Europe trip on Etihad. Typically SCs posted within 2-3 days.

.... and the 1st lounge is worth it!

2-3 days is my experience also, on an EY flight number.

On a EY flight with a VA flight number it was 2 months and I had to do a missing points claim.

Cheers

I have a soft spot for EYs F lounge.

I've only ever bought directly from EY and points have been quick to post (definitely within 10 days). I was totally expecting missing points and claims.

That's been my experience that it takes longer for the points/SCs to come through when the flight is ticketed as a codeshare flight. I usually wait the prescribed number of days until I'm eligible to lodge a missing points claim and then go for it.

I am flying paid EY Biz net week both ways to Europe.

As a Virgin Plat can one use the the EY First lounge? Can one have a guest?

Sigh, I'm still waiting for points/SCs to credit from an EY flight 2.5 weeks ago. It was booked directly with EY, and VA number added at time of booking (status showed correctly on BP), but nothing. Not sure how long to wait before manual follow up.

EY Y shorthaul was a thoroughly underwhelming experience, I must say. But EY F Apartments (award flight) MEL-AUH was pretty spectacular ^^

I just checked my previous EY flights and it's between 2-5 days for them to post. I had bought from EY and also signed up with an EY FF # as I thought it would make it easier to track flights but then switched to VA FF # at airport. Sometimes it was EY # on the BP and sometimes VA but it always credited to VA. I was actually anticipating issues but very happy they never occurred!

Very surprising for EY. I flew EY FCO-AUH (with EY Flight number) and it had posted before I left AUH. My issues were with the VA flight numbers on EY metal. Put in a missing points claim and they might hurry it up a bit.

Cool -- I am guessing in their home base hub it is a pretty nice lounge?
