The thing is that I already bought more expensive fares in order to become gold and I don't want to give 50 euros more just because there is delay in crediting the miles. So, I'm wondering if there is possibility that the miles from Sarajevo to Vienna are not credited yet because of Sarajevo airport (it's a small airport). Has anyone has the same issue (collecting later the miles from one segment than the other).

- Flew SIN-WAW-CPH and WAW-CPH on LO was credited automatically and SIN-WAW after retroclaiming.
- Flew JNB-ADD-VIE and ADD-VIE on ET was also credited first, 2 days later JNB-ADD.
However, those flights were not close to expiring of my status so it didn't affect my status.
If you're 100% sure you are eligible for credit (Booking class, international/European) and they claim that you'll get Gold after retroclaim, I don't see why Austrian would suddenly deny the retroclaim.

A week ago Friday (June 21st) I flew A3 on IST-ATH-LIS. And on 22nd I flew TAP on LIS-OPO.
No postings yet of these 3 sectors.
Mind you, my TK DOH-IST flight miles were posted by mid-week. The miles postings will eventually show up ....

Same here, for my last couple Lufthansa flights I got the miles within 24 hours.
It's amazing how quick they are these days, especially considering how messy their own program still is.
Still waiting for the much-needed SAS miles to be credited.
But since those flights were only taken less than 3 days ago I'm confident that they'll show up...

How nice of them. I also had a no-show 1 month ago and got nothing. Miles from a purchase I made on board on 8/8 were credited on either of the past 2 days, so about 15 days after the flight (good thing they did credit them, this hasn't always been the case with shop on board miles).
