Mileage credit if no credit on Aegean?
Hello,
I recently flew twice on Air India, used my Aegean number, but it turns out that the AI fare class does not earn miles on Aegean. I subsequently submitted a retro claim on United, but United says the miles were already credited. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks.

A possible explanation is that A3 is paid an absolutely tiny sum of money by AI for your fare bucket, but it's not enough to justify giving FFP miles back.
Unfortunately this would obviously be a confidential commercial agreement between AI & A3, so it's not something that you could ever verify one way or the other.

Thanks, all, for your replies. I spoke with a remarkably helpful agent at UA, and it sounds like there was simply a display glitch on my account: the miles (quite a small number, because the bucket only earns 50% and the route was short) were being included in my total, but it wasn't showing the flights under "recent flights" on my profile. The agent was able to see the flights on the phone.
