M&B account was indicated by the TA, the trip was also registered on my LX profile (miles are supposed to be registered with M&B), yet when I explicitly asked at check-in I found out that no FF account was to be found in the system! Strangely enough, the system also didn't allow me to do web-CI, so I don't really know what was wrong. The fact that a (Swiss) TA was involved (for a trip starting in Greece)? Anything else? My BC shows the last three digits of my account but no mention of status. I'll now wait and see whether the miles will ever appear.
Further to my previous posting: It's now time to fly back. First surprise, I am now allowed to check-in online. Second surprise, my M&B number is indicated. Third one: my BC mentions GOLD with huge bold letters. And final surprise, my status (A3*G) is also indicated with equally huge letters on the BC for my connection in ATH which, for a change, is not with A3 but OA, and which, though, is not a member of *A. This big difference with a single booking. Go figure... And to get back to the subject of the thread, miles have not posted yet (65 hours after completion of the first flight).
