Flying Club Miles/Points when VS rebooks you on Air France
We had a flight JFK - Mumbai via LHR back on 15th June in PE. The JFK - LHR flight was cancelled, and VA rebooked us on Air France flights next day also in PE.
Will we get Flying Club points and miles for this flight? They haven't shown up in our account yet. I have no plans of ever flying Air France again, so only interested if we can get VA rewards for the flight.

Did you give AF your Flying Club details when you checked in?
(yes you can earn points and TPs on most, if not all, AF fares - PE certainly included)

And since IRROPs rebookings sometimes end up in full-fare classes, there might be far more points and TPs to be earned by simply retro-crediting the AF flights to Flying Club.
FWIW the OP may also be able to claim EC261 compensation for arriving a day later.

Update on this:
Submitted missing miles claim and got them credited. Received more miles for this leg than we did for our trip from Delhi to Miami.
We also submitted compensation request as suggested and received total 1120 pounds compensation (560 per passenger), so are pretty happy with that.
But I would never ever fly Air France premium economy, that was the worst experience with some of the worst airline food.

Yup. On the flight from France to Mumbai we had options of only French Vegeterian food or Indian Vegeterian food. And for VA I had the amazing Chicken Pie pre-selected. I was so pissed, but I guess the money I got back makes up for it.
