Can I collect miles on Lauda Air Charter
I am just curious. Currently I am booked on NG charter flight to the Caribbean. Can I collect miles (bonus/status) on these charter ops. NG's website doesn't mention anything. Maybe they have a similar scheme as Condor.
Any help appreciated.

Ive never been on an NG Charter flight, but a South American partner of UA's MPlus (Lapa of Argentina) has a charter to the ski areas that I take often. Although the fine print says you are not entitled to mileage, I always present my UA card and Ive actually gotten miles for most all of those flights. 
My tip would be for you to get your FF number into the computer.... ask nicely a second time if an agent has doubts. Maybe it will go through.... 
Good luck & have a nice vacation !!!

my first one will be in january-2001 going to the Australian (tennis) Open:
ZRH (OS) - VIE (NG) - MEL (via Kuala Lumpur and Sydney).
NG has the reputation (here in Switzerland) of having one of the best (if not the best) service (food, beverage, inflight-entertainement) in business class (Amadeus class).

I agree with that reputation. They even have a Chef in Amadeus class that gives the meal the final touches. Canapes are part of the pre-meal drink service.... (Im sure u will like the service)
