With the evolution of the Miles&Bonus program, there are a number of threads on this forum that contain outdated information, plus a further set that - whilst describing the new program - contain conflicting information that has only been crystallised as we all discover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,
im trying to book some business tickets using the M&B portal on the website from JFK-GRU on O6
the portal is showing availability in Economy only, but Expertflyer is showing Business availability on the day I want to travel.
is the only way to get these J tickets through a booking with the call centre?
my date of travel is 07/07/18
thanks

Does Aegean Airlines take a while to charge CC for flights booked online? I booked two separate tickets on Aegean Air and Olympic Air website (revenue, not award flights) two days ago using my Amex Platinum card and the charges aren't even in pending. I was issued confirmation #'s and ticket #'s so I assumed the charges went through.

Help with segment/miles run
Can anyone with a true FT spirit help me?
Looking for a segment/miles run from TLV. Departing April 20th and returning on the 21st.
I need 4 segments, maximum miles and minimum $$$
Thank you!
(I don't care about the destination, everything I find is more than 350 Euro)

EDIT: Or do a same day turn to northern Europe. You can leave TLV 01:15 on 20th to CDG at 09:20 and then return at 16:40, arriving TLV 02:00 on 21st. This is available for 386 Euro. 4 segments, 4212 miles and all flights are in at least S class so you could use upgrade vouchers too. Alternatively, you can actually take the 20:45 from Paris, arrive Athens 1am and then have 23 hours there (see the city after a sleep) and arrive TLV 02:00 on 22nd for the same price. Still not cheap, but reasonable for the number of miles. You can do something similar to MUC for 338 Euro, but that's only 3488 miles. How bad do you need the miles? You can do a same-day to Rome for 188 Euro - 3200 miles and 7hrs at destination. Or LCA for 146 Euro.

Fancy one day in Athens and the next in the fantastic Turkish Airlines lounge!?!
A3 flights book into P, P, S, S - so the MAD-ATH-IST flights are upgradable (haven't checked availability).
All comes in at around 315.80 EUR with A3 flights earning 3,940 tier miles
plus the TK flight books into Q fare, so approximately 500 tier miles with that too!

Sometimes Austrian is a good choice as well. Business Saver Z fare gives 2000 miles per cross-border segment, so it's quite easy to get 8000 miles for less than 450€.
Plus, Vienna is pretty and you'll get plenty of classical music on board

First, it's expensive, second, I think that Houminer also needs the four segments on A3 to re-qualify, so Austrian would be absolutely useless for him.

Thank you everyone for the spirit an replies!
I booked:
TLV-ATH-DUS-ATH-TLV giving me 24 hours in DUS.
The outbound was supposed to be 85 Euro but booking into P so I added 35 Euro and booked Flex. The total price was 256 Euro giving me 4 segments and 3534 miles.
All 4 segments are now upgraded with vouchers!

I didn't know that 450€ was expensive. I am extremely interested in having your advice about cheaper 8000 miles for 4 Business segments in Europe

Otherwise you're right. In terms of *A, also LX used to have the possibility of cheap intra-European flights via ZRH (I used them a lot in my pre-A3 days, along with AF/KL) but they've changed their miles acquisition "system" now, and you get very few miles even for business.
