- February 2014 - TAP Portugal - EU <> Brazil
- February 2014 - Avianca - Domestic Brazilian Flight
- June 2014 - Air France - Paris
- July 2014 - Brussels Airlines - Brussels
- August 2014 - EasyJet/RyanAir - Ibiza
- December 2014 - British Airways - Amsterdam
Of these 6 flights I have only claimed the BA flight, which was easiest. I have contacted TAP Portugal, but as I made a TAP Portugal account in March 2014, they said I was too late with claiming the miles of this long flight. I have a Turkish Airlines account, but they seem to only accept their own flight, even though they are in an alliance.
Is there still any chance for me to properly reclaim the Brazilian international flight and the Paris, Brussels, Avianca domnestic flights?
You can claim TK Miles and Smiles for the TP Brazil flights as they are both Star Alliance. However, you'll have to submit a claim by post as you can only retro claim TK flights online.
