Minimum Miles Guarantee
In the past when BA would earn only 25% of the miles on the deep discount fares, you would only receive 125 miles as the minimum on short flights in those fare buckets.

The trick is to watch what fare class your ticket books into.

(Flights operated by Niki are eligible for mileage accrual).
**Note - Travel ticketed as an AA marketed flight (booked as an AA flight number) and operated by airberlin will earn AAdvantage base miles and elite qualifying miles, points and segments according to the AA mileage accrual chart.

Only 25% of miles earned
In August I took a round trip from Zurich to Vienna with Airberlin/Niki. Although I had a reservation and boarding passes with a Y booking class I was only awarded 25% of miles. According to the AAdvantage website flights with a Y booking class shoulb eligible with 100% of miles.
AAdvantage records show only 94 miles:
08/11/12 NIKI 8499 Y ZRH VIE 94 0 94
08/13/12 NIKI 8150 Y VIE ZRH 94 0 94
Does anybody know why?

The Y on the online statement is rarely useful.

It looks to be 375 miles from VIE to ZRH, and 375 * 25% = 93.75, so that adds up.

Although you may have sat in Y and think you booking class was Y, your actual fare class was likely one of those discounted economy. For example, I had a flight in O on AB but booked as a AA codeshare, then connected to an O local flight (no AA codeshare). The first flight was 100% RDM/EQM, the second flight was 25% (similar to what you have).

@nall: I know I was awarded 25%. But in my opinion I should get 100% not just 25%.

ETIHAD / EY flights not posting to my Aadvantage account
Flew Etihad J and F class back in August and after claiming the miles on the phone, through fax and website, having sent copies of ticket and BP to AA, the miles are still missing.
What is even more annoying is that the ticket was issued by AA
What else can I do?
