I just tried to book a flight on the web, and it allows you to enter a FF number, but only for BD, LH and SK. Why just these? I use UA, but even the other Euro Star members are excluded.

At a guess, because BD, LH and SK use the same booking system.

This is already an improvement. Back in spring 2003 (April, methinks) I booked a BMI r/t flight and it would only accept the BMI Diamond Club number. Now at least EuroBonus (which I'm using) is supported.

This lead to a funny confusion about a checkin agent in Dublin being "absolutely positive that your number is in the system". Which it of course wasn't and I ended up having to send in the stubs for mileage claim.

I tried booking on lufthansa.co.uk it would only accept a M&M Number, nothing for BD or any * partner outside the M&M programme.
