Flying Blue
 
Some additional snippets of information from our session with Flying Blue, which I don't think have been mentioned elsewhere yet...

Contact
They recognise that Flying Blue has been hard to reach in the past. So, as an initial step they will soon be extending the opening hours of all the FB contact centres. (I forget the exact times/days - maybe someone else can remember?)

As there are FB contact centres around the globe (Ivry-Sur-Seine, Kitchener, Sydney, Guangzhou, etc), we discussed whether out-of-hours phone-calls in one country could be re-routed to another centre that was still open. It seems this isn't possible yet (for technical, language and perhaps other reasons). However, it is always possible to do this yourself - just look at the list of contact centres, and find one which is open at the right time... Incidentally, the contact centre in Nairobi is already open 24/7, and has a proper email address, which is generally answered promptly...

Retro-Claims
They also acknowledged frustrations around difficult retro-claims. Retro-claims for AF/KL-operated flights can already be processed online (as FB have direct access to the relevant reservations computer) but all other retro-claims have to be sent to the relevant partner to confirm the travel/purchase/etc (as FB can't access this information directly).

However, they are about to introduce an online submission system for retro-claims, so you will be able to scan the relevant documentation, and submit online (or via email?), to save having to print/photo-copy and post all the paperwork.

Interestingly, FB in Europe cannot directly process retro-claims for KQ, but the FB contact centre in Nairobi can (as it has direct access to the KQ reservations computer) - so retro-claims for KQ-operated flights may be best handled over email with the Nairobi contact centre.

I got the miles prize and according to Chris they should appear in my account...

Got the 4k today (thanks AF) but no 50k yet.

Mine are there (thanks FB and chrissxb!) - but they're dated 27th April (not unreasonably), so I had to scroll down past all my subsequent flights, in order to see them.

Yes, the new site appears defaults to one month for me, so I had to select the entire year to see the Flyertalk miles.

Tried that but nothing. :( Perhaps I was too critical during the FB session.

Well the prediction was true, if not the date. I had mentioned to the AF Marketing chief that the fuel surcharges on short haul economy awards were ridiculous and he said that he was going to make an announcement about improvements there. He didn't say anything about raising the price for business class, but we were only discussing economy.
