Retroactive Miles

If you forget putting your FFlyer number into the system, you can call their 800# and if it's an e-ticket, if you tell them the number, they can credit your account much quicker.

If you have a PAPER ticket, then you will have to get all your ticket stubs etc and send it in WITHIN 6 MONTHS.

Now, very important, if you give them your card on the second leg because you forgot to do it the first leg, it is NOT going to pick up the first leg. Also, if you give your number AFTER you're checked in, ask to REPRINT your boarding pass so it registers. It should always have something on your boarding pass to show your FFlyer number.

Happy Travels!
