Hello,
my first post in this forum, I am a *A Frequent Flyer (LH), I am not realistically going to have the *A Lufthansa Senator Status within 12 months since I do not fly enough for that.
Over 12 Months I fly around 50.000 *A Miles.
I am only interested in Accessoing Lounges even with Economy and gathering as many Miles as possible to get free tickets/upgrades for me & gfriend.
I have now 250K miles on the M&M card, I if swtich now to A3 M&B, what would be the best thing to do? Credit to the old M&M LH card and than Benefit to the new M&B A3 card?
Thank you

If you fly 50k a year, you're probably better off with OZ, TK, or even UA.

I highly doubt it. Case in point: I recently bought a super cheap, non-mileage earning fare on Air NZ for a quick weekend trip from Australia to NZ, put my A3 membership # on the itinerary so I could get all the *G perks - and it didn't even register anything on my activity page, not even something saying 'ineligible fare' or what not.

Question on this one:
To maintain an account active, you're expected to credit a flight at least every 24 months as a Basic member, once every 36 months as an elite member
So I flew a few days before the 24 months passed, but the miles never credited, despite having my A3 number on there. Retro claiming doesn't work for me (maybe because of the account expiry?). Anyone have been in this situation before? Should I start witha new account or can Aegean lift the account expiry?

I think you should contact A3 because you credited miles to A3 before 24-month period. If the system cannot credit mile to your account (due to account expiry?), they should manually reactivate and credit miles to your account.

Of course, that's my personal opinion, and to make the thread less boring I include here a link to a video showing one of my dogs sleeping next to me son. It has absolutely nothing to do with the thread (possibly with the lack of lie-flat beds on many long-haul planes), but unless the mod gets really angry at me, it should make the A3 thread less boring.
I have enough miles on AE to take trips I want, built up from the past, so I don't really care about that part of it (maybe will change mind later and put to the test).
I've decided to leave AE and have been putting my status miles into A3 to get gold. Mostly, I want it for the *A lounge access, extra baggage, other perks of gold.
You sometimes get quite an astonished reaction when they see at the gate that you are not part of a "traditional" frequent flyer program.

Hi! Is it possible to book awards on *A to family members (i would not be travelling with them) via web, or should I call. They state it is required written names of the award passengers, but does not say how (mail, email, fax, scanned?), any thoughts/experiences?
