The OV homepage has been updated compared to a few weeks ago,
As most tickets with OV already before gave full economy earnings the change is not an improvement, at least not on CPH and ARN flights to Tallinn, earning is down from 600 to 500. However Riga and Vilnius earnings from Tallinn are increased so maybe evens out.
I will have four OV flights next week, so will keep you updated,

OV earnings - confusing
Flew RIX-TLL-HEL and return a few days ago. Inbound segments have posted: HEL-TLL 600 pts (L class), TLL-RIX 300 pts (L class). Do not see any logic in this, besides the website seems to suggest 500 pts per segment.
Really curious to see my earnings for the outbound segments

I did not try and I would not recommend to do so. I assume that crediting SAS-operated flights to Aegan still earns nothing in the low economy classes until they update their chart. I am wondering if it is worth sending an email to SAS to inquire about this, I'd be ready to fly SAS much more often if I'd get the full miles on all tickets again (independent on where I credit to), but I guess it will just be a waste of time.

(Miles&Bonus)Over at the A3 thread there is quite some talk about fare classes, and even for A3 the general rule is that if the fare class is not listed, it does not earn. Regardless if it earns a gaziljon miles on all other programs...

Better yet, contact A3, as it is their program (Miles&Bonus)

But the messages is the same - why should and could SK care how another airline's FFP issues mileage??

I´ve booked CPH-TLL-RIX on Estonian for a return trip in August, and according to the new points earnings table I should make 4000 points. Not bad at all , considering the ticket cost me only 102€
.Edited to add :
I just realized that the earnings table lists return earnings !!!So total earning from this trip will be 2000 points . (would have known if I had read this thread more carefully !)

My SAS international flights which, according to UA's charts, should now earn miles (on fare codes that would not have credited last month according to the charts then applicable) are not showing up in my UA account.
Something is broken and it may have to do with whether or not SK is pushing the right data over or not.

A3 credits exactly what the operating airline grants them. That is why all request for crediting are run past the operating airline who decides if and how many miles are credited. That means whenever an airline changes e.g. miles eligible classes A3 will implement the new policy, which the user sees as an updated earning chart on the A3 webpage. Hence I understand it is up to the operating carrier to tell A3 how much (miles, money) they get for flights in each class.

The operating airlines would of course confirm, that the flight was actually flown in the given booking class and not credited to any other FFP. (though not always - I'll sorely miss BD DC double crediting longhaul LH/OS flights with M&M
)This is all assumption from my part, without any actual inside information.

This was part of an itinerary starting from IAD on SK. Did they make an error in giving me only 195 points for the May 21 flight?

You should at least have gotten 25% on SK. There aren't any flights that give zero. My favorite from ca. year 2000 is when I got 17 miles credited to my UA account for taking the SAS hydrofoil from CPH to Malmo. Still the only time I have recvd FF points for a boat ride.

At least the other direction seems to be working properly. I flew domestic UA last week in W (which I believe used to earn 25%) and it credited 100% to my EB account this week.
