I am missing a flight from last month (Spanair - don't even ask) that was credited to Aegean.
I've submitted the missing miles information (twice), and written e-mails (through their website) to customer service (twice). The silence is deafening so far.
Any idea how best to contact Aegean?

I have some short domestic (USA) flights on UA coming up, and plan to credit to A3. I was thinking of booking with my MP# to get exit rows and possible upgrades, then switching to my M&B# at the gate to credit the miles to A3 instead of UA.
Has anyone done this and are there issues? UA has A3 preloaded into their booking system, so maybe not the problems associated with other carriers as reported by those switching FF#s after lounge access with A3 *G?

Just an update on a retroactive mileage claim for two TK C flights, in both cases the TK staff could not get their system to accept the A3 number upon check in. I submitted the claim about 2 weeks ago and both flights credited correctly yesterday.

I know this may have been asked before.
If my profile shows gold, will it appear on my Swiss boarding pass?
Will I be able to enter the lounge if it shows *G on it but I don't have a card?
If not, what will help me?
Many thanks to the pro's that willfully share info.

mileage and posting
Claimed two Air Canada flights last week and the miles posted in three days. Also 500 min for YQB YUL rather than the 250 min with Air Canada.
Can't beat this it is a great program if you carefully watch the fare class.

sorry folks if this comes a little bit rude... but aegean should really think about changing those qualification criteria for their A3 gold... sly shove in some miles that have to be flown with A3 - I see 50% US people in these forums who have probably never even seen an aegean plane 
just saying...

No, A3 should continue to run their program in a manner that makes it attractive to people in their core market. If they really wanted to dissuade others from using the program, they could simply introduce a minimum A3 annual sector count. It's that simple....

thats exactly what I ment... minimum mileage accrual with aegean of 2000 miles / year would be enough already imo.
Also, you are missing out on both A3 *S and A3 *G benefits if your not flying A3 (emergency exit rows etc... I doubt you get those on US carriers with A3 status).

as was described one would supposedly get access to lounges while on a domestic trip in US, and or *G benefits at the lowest level in *A.
For some people it would be enough.

is it 100% or 50% for a CO W fare?
the table is somewhat confusing, i think "As of February 1st, 2011" refers to the table on the bottom. But then is table at the top prior or after 02/01/11?
ANA for example has dates assigned to both top and bottom tables, so its easier to understand.
