Moving (status and flights) from Saudia to Flying Blue
Weird-ish question.
Realising that the Saudia FFP is no longer really useful for me, I'm thinking about shifting to Flying Blue. It looks sadly that (despite holding the top tier on all three alliances) I'll have to start from scratch with FB.
However, there are a series of flights I took with KQ (before I signed up for FB but in the last six months) which SV never actually credited. I did have their FFN on my booking though, particularly for lounge access. Do you think FB would credit them instead? Is there any alliance guidance on this kind of situation?
Thanks.

If they were not credited to any FFP, no reason for FB not to credit them retroactively except for some technical issues reported Claiming missing FB miles - currently impossible

I couldn't find an answer on this one way or the other on the FB website.

Can I earn Miles for a flight made before I joined the Flying Blue Programme?
You can credit flights taken 6 months prior to becoming a Flying Blue member.

Well to answer my own question, Flying Blue did indeed credit the flights taken a few months before opening my FB account.
Along with all other flights on the tickets. One of which had already credited to SV.
Sigh.
