As I wrote in the first post of this thread, I flew three IB sectors in late Nov., over two days, one flight on the first day and two continual sectors on the second day. I wanted three different FFP account numbers assigned on them.

I did not register any FFP numbers when I made the reservations.

The first sector is for CX AsiaMiles, which I sent the boarding pass and a copy of the air ticket after the flight, and it has not yet been posted.

The second sector was for BA and the third for CP. The check-in agent said they were all reflected on the record but the boarding passes did not show any FFP numbers.

Just two days ago, I called BA and learned that the second and the third sectors were all posted in BA Exe. Club. I told my story and said I had wanted the third sector for CP. The BA agent said that I should send the boarding pass and a copy of the air ticket to BA (not CP), and she said she would take care of it.

I am now flying four AA sectors this weekend, NRT-DFW-YYZ-ORD-NRT. AA can handle different FFP account numbers on a single PNR, it seems. I have my BA Exe. Club number registered for YYZ-ORD. The remaining sectors are for AA.

Also on my late Nov. trip, after the IB sectors, I was astonished, well, sort of, when I checked in for three continual AA flights -- RDU-ORD-NRT. I got three boarding passes for all the flights and each of them had a different FFP number, which I requested at the time of reservations.

CP and BA seem to be able to handle different FFP numbers on a single PNR, too. But I heard CP sometimes mixes up, and it also cannot accept different FFP numbers at the time of check-in, unless you have them registered on your reservation record -- but this is all I heard. I myself had no problem with CP and BA, as I said.

I also agree with MKB about IB's domestic flights. I don't see much difference with economy ....
