How Long for BA and Other Airline Partner Flights to Credit to AS?
Hello all
Does anyone have any experience with how long it takes BA flights to credit to AS - in this case, the flights are both BA-operated and BA-marketed. In terms of other partners, my experience is:
- a few days for DL, AA and KL
- two to three weeks for QF
Thanks

I have a Google Sheets to track my AS and partner flights, and I started recording the post date (and days to post) from mid of last year.
Since I have record for that, my experiences are:
- AA: 1-5 days
- BA: 5-7 days
- CX: 3-8 days

I had 2 BA flights in mid-December that hadn't posted after 15 days. I e-mailed a mileage credit request and included a request for the 2 BA return flights that had been flown 4-5 days before. Miles for all 4 flights posted the next day!

I am now waiting for the BA flight I took last week to post, wonder if it will show up on my balance tomorrow.
Question: Why Wednesday? how does the process work? is it an automated procedure when a pax checks in with a partner and the AS number goes into the system (then it shouldn't be just once a week) or a manual process where someone at AS goes through all the partner mileage credit and checks eligibility? There must be thousands of pax each week crediting partner flights to AS so I can't imagine this to be the case...!
