Should I just join Eastern miles and earn with that program? Any idea on what I can do? I hate to miss out on all those miles, is there anything I can do? Please help!
I guess with the ticket you currently, the only possibility for you to earn a little miles is to enroll in the MU Eastern Miles program and earn the 30%. None of the other Skyteam partners will accrual any miles for X and Q classes... So unless you upgrade your ticket, to full-fare economy, for example, you won't be able to earn all these miles. Sorry mate...
