I've been checking out the

About the
Aeroflot Bonus Family plan:
1) Does the miles flown counts toward EQM? Or it's just for award miles?
2) What's the restriction on booking class of other Skyteam flights?
3) Family members fly Delta, what EQM and RDM do I get?
Over all, is it a rewarding program?
1) You will get status miles (EQMs) for your own flight and 40 pct of award miles for your father's flight. (Unless you manage to enroll him as your spouse
- then it's 70 pct )
2-3) See Aeroflot Bonus general earning table for Skyteam partners. There are no separate earning tables just for the Family Plan. This must be new, but their website now shows that you can only get miles when your family members fly SU (but the Head of the family account continues to earn miles on Skyteam partners).
All in all, if your father will never ever earn an award in any Skyteam scheme, you might want to save at least 40 pct of his miles. Otherwise, it's a waste - just get him a separate account with SU Bonus or any other FFP that gives miles for these flights and booking classes.
Note that the minimum number of family members is 3 so you'll need to enroll your pet as a bogus sibling or kid
