Called FB which informed me that E class is for French domestic service but that my booking class is indeed in their system (an improvement for them, but not for me
and entitled to this amount.Looks like UX is getting a look at the amount of miles they're offering or being coached by their AF counterparts.
So, no more 750 miles mini. on international UX flights

I think it will be tough to find many of the cheap fare on back-to-back flights during the same day. Those seem to be reserved for the odd hours. Still, if you earn 1500 per roundtrip minimum, it isn't a bad deal for the miles.

Ok. I'm trying to convince my brother to do some runs... mighty angry that he missed Silver last year with 300 miles.
Constructed this:
BCN-PMI-MAD-AGP-MAD-BCN
It seems to be forcing connections thereby reducing the taxes due.
This is O,O,O,S,U class. $182.20
Time: 08:45-22:35

On what day did you find that price?

Yep, the segments keep your status. I intentionally endure Delta in the US in order to accumulate segments and maintain status. The benefits of priority security, intl lounge access and exit rows are the driver for me (otherwise I would go back to VX). I use my amex plat for lounge access in the US - the cheap red wine in advance of any Delta flight helps numb the pain.

I am really stuffed by AirEuropa. There is a segment that never posted since late August, for which I sent the claim in by post a few weeks ago. So far, nothing has posted (receipt was acknowledged). Is there any way of joggling them along with this?
Without this segment, I am up to 29 segments, so I may be looking at a run to get that spare segment before the end of the year. Probably GVA/BSL to AMS and back, or DUS/CGN to AMS and back.

Thanks..I think I will probably end up doing another segment anyway. It's just annoying, especially if you depend on the segment. I would certainly think twice about doing the run on UX mentioned above, it is so undependable.

I never had problems with segment posting when flying UX (which is by no mean a proof of anything; however it contradicts your experience).
Why not call FB and fly one segment "anyway" if all this is about a qualifying segment? Are you sure the segment you flew is qualifying?
