does an NH operated by Air Japan flight award me miles? Flying HKG-NRT-SEA later this year which should give me A3 Gold (if I get credit for both segments!).
FYI...first leg on NH (operated by Air Japan) and SEA-leg operated by NH.

It seems the awarded fare is based on the fare class actually flown, not the fare class ticketed, at least on UA.
Datapoint:
Arrived late for an S class fare on UA. Was bumped to a later flight, Y class. Received the 150% miles bonus on the Y class fare with Y class routing.
This is something new I haven't seen or maybe just never noticed before flying on other airlines. Can this be exploited so one can buy a cheap fare and get bumped to a higher mile-earning ticket?

This means that UA did not only rebook you but also re-issued the ticket (in Y). It depends very much on the station, the fact whether you were checked-in or not in for your missed flight and probably many reasons more... not enough for a strategy to exploit a situation like this...

Hello All, I booked an Aegean codeshared flight operated by Singapore Airlines. The A3 booking class is K but I cannot find out what it maps to on SQ. I rang SQ and they said it will be the same but there's a lot of comments on this forum indicating that most likely it will be something else. Is there a way to find out perhaps in the KVS tool? Thanks

Only SQ can tell you that. Call again.

Skywest UA6431 will likely give you credit. This flight number is not on the list of flights UA will not credit to other airlines. Check the A3 retro-claim screen and make sure both airports can be selected. If either of the airports is not listed, my experience is that you will not get credit. YMMV!

Hello there,
based on the future changes in the program I have to do my MR to reach the 20k miles before 24th November.
I found the candidate route but I have a question.
Business class on TP should give me 200% of the flown miles but what if the flight is operated by PORTUGALIA?
Anybody has info about this?
Thanks
EDIT: Does it still available?

For some *A carriers, there are many different subsidiaries operating flights for the main airline. Some of these operators earns according to main airline chart some does not. Here is an incomplete list of subsidiaries that earns on M&B:
LH flights operated by EW, EN, IQ, CL earn miles according to LH table in A3 chart.
UA List of flight numbers that earns
SK flights operated by KF earns according to SK table in A3 chart.

Reading the earnings structure, if I fly SFO-LAX-SFO in purchased A-class (first), it seems that I will be able to get 3000 miles total (minimum 1500 miles per segment).
Also, has anyone received A-class bonus flying on United Express operated by Skywest? or is the earnings structure for mainline only?
Just wanted to confirm as this will be to obtain *G prior to change.

For those who fly regularly to/from BRU, Brussels Airlines (SN) offer flight passes, called bpass (http://bpass.brusselsairlines.com/en/) which includes 6 round trip in their Light & Relax travel class, to fly over a period of 3 or 6 months, for selected destinations (not ATH unfortunately).
They actually book in the U Fare class, earning 1250 miles per flight, so a total of 15000 miles per bpass.
