Evidence of boarding is not evidence of flying

In the distant past it was a simple process for me getting miles credited to my account by entering the details online. All my miles posted instantly.
I assume the OP has already tried that?

Kafka-esque usually refers to das Urteil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Judgment

To give you another investigative route, did you make any changes to this itinerary or were you subject to any changes en-route (bumpings, missed/cancelled segments, etc.)?

I had a problem recently (Star Alliance) where I couldn't get an Air New Zealand flight credited to United Airlines. UA refused to believe I was on that flight, despite the boarding pass I faxed them. It turned out that NZ had sent them the wrong information after I changed my itinerary. Once I was able to have them search using the original intinerary information, they found it and credited the miles.

If one is going to have a sense of humour failure, it's usually best to cite the appropriate correct answer.

Turning into a beetle is scary, but not entirely relevant to endless bureaucratic circles...

Can you clarify whether that is "beetle" as in:
- an insect
- a pop singer
- a VW car
- a slightly crunchy, mystery ingredient of a Lebanese meatball such as you might purchase in an kebab shop after a late night out

Does anyone have the link for submitting supporting documents for an Avios/TP claim?

Call centre agent told me it was: www.ba.com/ecsupportingdocs yet it doesn't seem to be working?

Why has it been necessary to resurrect a 6 year old thread?

Maybe because I'm in the US?

For me, that link redirects to: https://www.britishairways.com/en-ae...ting-documents

Changing 'en-ae' to 'en-us' or 'en-gb' also works.

Try logging first, then trying the link.

Clear your browser (or use a different browser/private mode) and try again?
