Hilton to olympic air

Just seen that we can redeem honors points to Olympic air points... but now the program does not exist anymore. Do you think this will credit miles on miles and bonus account?
Any experience?

I don't have experience for this, but I don't think it is possible. Can you try for us?

Yep, will wait for other feedback. If nobody did it will transfer 10000 (the minimum) and see what happens.

Travelair/Olympic does NOT appear in the drop-down list of partner programs which you can select when choosing to transfer miles.

Perhaps if you previously transferred miles to this account, your Hilton account remembers this number and still presents it as an "option".

However, I would suspect that you will simply "throw away" those Hilton points and receive nothing for them. Travelair does not exist anymore; there is no reason to suspect that there is any mechanism in place that would simply "forward" these miles to your Miles & Bonus account. And it may be difficult to get those Hilton points back.

I would advise extreme caution before trying this.

Same conclusion. It appears in the list but when you want to transfer, the program is not in the list anymore.
