Flew CMN_DXB on Monday 10/29 in J class and was disappointed not to see the miles appear in the account soon after (have come to expect big things of EK by the standards they set). Interesting my wife and children who flew with me on the same flight (under a separate PNR) had the miles credited to their respective accounts within 24 hours.
After reading this thread, called EK and they took care of it on the spot! ^
Thanks Eightblack et all.
