With the evolution of the Miles&Bonus program, there are a number of threads on this forum that contain outdated information, plus a further set that - whilst describing the new program - contain conflicting information that has only been crystallised as we all discover how certain aspects of the program either work or are interpreted.
It is perhaps therefore unsurprising that many new members find searching through this myriad of threads a little daunting, and consequently they post a question in one of the FAQ threads.
This tends to irk those who've been around for a while who expect the new posters to at least do some basic searching before posting a question that has probably been asked many times before. This also causes the forums to become very congested and less easy to read through with the same question being asked and answered many times.
I am therefore creating a thread, which will be stickied, for anyone to ask any question they like about the M&B program where they are unsure or it's not obvious where they should be posting it.
There is no such thing in this thread as a stupid question, no issue with asking a repeat question, and any answers should be 100% flame-free. I will take a dim view of anyone that abuses a member or provides a less than helpful answer (such as 'do a search') to any question asked in here, because this is being created to benefit all of us so the other threads flow more cleanly. Thank you for your co-operation on this.
It might be that I move questions to more appropriate threads so they receive an answer more quickly, but if I do so I will always add a note to indicate where they originated, and ask that the flame-free answer principle be respected.

Hello,
Regarding Miles+Bonus earning, do you know if
- "Operated by Lufthansa City Line" will count as operated by Lufthansa?
- "Operated by Swiss Global" will count as operated by Swiss?
As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_A...and_affiliates I understand that they are affiliate members.
Thanks

As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_A...and_affiliates I understand that they are affiliate members, so the answer would be yes.
On the other hand, the answer would be no for Edelweiss, right?

Yes with a LH flight number

Yes with a LX flight number
Edelweiss
No, unless under a wet-lease arrangement (LX operated with LX flight number but Edelweiss aircraft).

Hello A3 experts,
Flying YYZ-SFO-SIN-LAX-YVR on UA P class. We are 5 in a family making this trip. I am looking to collect the miles of family members with Aegean family account. I have created all the 5 accounts. looks like i have to first become a silver member to get the ability to combine accounts.
Using Where to Credit | Calculator i see that we get 23876 miles PP. I see that we need 24k to get to silver. MAA-SIN segment may get us over the 24k limit. Once one of us get past 24k can we combine all the 5 accounts and will the primary account holder get to Gold?

Yes, and they do it relatively fast nowadays, it should have been there already. I'd call them and report it in order to get a new one. Mind you, in the last 3-4 years they've only asked for it once, and this was 18 months ago at the SAS lounge in CDG.
