Will wonders ever cease: BD flights posted within 48 hours!
In the past, I have had to send in boarding cards to get credit. But my two BD flights this week posted faster that UA flights sometimes do. Makes me a happy camper!

Was this an electronic ticket? I am finding out that SK electronic tickets post much much faster than their paper tickets. Only for UA MP that is. SK paper tickets post fast on Miles & More.

BD installed a new computer system (based on LH's system) late last year/early this year.
One result seems to have been that BD flights now post much faster to Mileage Plus than before!
