Also, conversely the reverse happens more often than it should and I suspect some people don't fight for the redeposit of the extra mileage.

FWIW - I suggest never discussing these situations publicly. Remember the first rule of fight club...

A few things...

1) No, the airline from which the miles were used (or not used as the case may be) is NOT a legacy and does NOT have a hub in PHL.

2) The partner on which my friend will be flying is also NOT a legacy (nor is it based in Europe).

3) Unfortunately for him, he said the miles were finally deducted this morning.

That's all folks!

I was about to post the same question.

Happened to me...

I just "bought" 4 one way AA tickets using 50,000 BA miles. AA shows the flight as "ticketed", and I have 4 ticket numbers as well as seats. Miles haven't been deducted from BA and it has been about 3 weeks. Flight isn't until next year, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I had the same thing happen using US Air Miles.

In January I booked 2 ticketsSFO to Sydney (Via Japan), using miles from two accounts...In March I noticed only one account had miles deducted, but I had paid Taxes on Two tickets with only one $50.00 partner fee charged.

After waiting a while, I decided it wasn't worth worrying for the next 8 months weather or not they would just cancel the one booking, and mess everything up. (we have all read the horror stories with US Air and their Fraud Dept. ) So I called and yes they confirmed they did miss it, and promptly removed the miles.

Sometimes honesty is the best policy!
