Dear rafi2k6

Thanks for choosing SWISS!

It take it you are a member of the Miles&More program.

On this flight - as long as you are booked with the SWISS flight number - you will earn award miles as usual. You will not be earning status miles, HON Circle miles or any executive bonus miles.

If your travel agency booked you with the El Al flight number LY347, I'm afraid you will not earn any miles, as El Al is not a partner airline of Miles&More.

I hope I could help you with this information.

Kind regards,
Gianrico
Thanks Gianrico, It was booked as LX4221 so it looks like I'll be earning the award miles. Good to know I can at least get award miles, 1hr50min cnx time at ZRH is plenty. For me it's better than leaving at 5:00am on 257.

Thanks for the info!
