My parents are going to australia, and they booked a travel arrangement incl. flights FRA-Hongkong-Melbourne and back. I singned them up for BAEC before they started requiring full fare economy flights to qualifying as a member. Since this flight is probably discounted economy BA will most likely only credit quarter miles - so only 5000 per person.. I assume it would be better to sign them up with a different program - like Swiss, SN Brussels, Finnair or even Asiamiles. Which is the best for a German resident and will earn full miles plus be enough for one intra-continental flight - since they might not use a free flight, which program allows booking for someone else?
thanks for your help.
