Vueling - adding FF numbers
 
I have a booking with Vueling for me and my wife. How do I add our Frequent Flyer numbers to the booking?
During the check-in process, there was one step where I could add 1 FF account it didn't say for which passenger. And that's it.
The number also doesn't appear on the boarding pass.
I've tried checking in again but now I no longer get the possibility to add the FF details.

I hope they can do this at check-in at the airport as well?

VY is not a AAdvantage ff partner

Or trying to add a avios ff number?

Mwenenzi I know, I'm trying to add our IB numbers.
When using IB you earn based on mileage flown.
When adding Vueling Avios you earn based on price of the ticket.
The IB option is the best for us.

But like I said, I don't see where you need to add it...

I believe that the only option is to include your IB+ number at the time of booking.

FWIW, you only earn IB+ Avios based on distance when you book the flight as an IB codeshare. Since it appears that you booked via Vueling then you would only be earning a tiny number of Avios per euro and would actually want to use a Vueling Club account for crediting...

Add it during OLCI. I did it last year for my BA Avios number (although I didn't receive points)

You're right, it's indeed also revenue-based. (My mistake) But since we both have IB accounts by now I prefer to use those instead of opening yet another new FF-account.
(For Basic fares Vueling offers 3 points per € and IB only 2 points / for all other fares they both offer 4 points/€)

I could only add 1 FF number during the booking process and also during OLCI I only saw 1 field for a FF number.
Even more strange, the field wasn't even next to a passenger. It was underneath both passengers, sort of implying that points for both passengers would be sent to that account.

I don't think you can use your BA Executive Club account. I think you need to use a Vueling Club or IB account.
You can link all these accounts and then you can transfer your points from IB or Vueling to BAEC later.
I'm not sure why it needs to be so complicated but unfortunately, it is...
