just taken a BMI credit card out they give 1.5 airmiles for every £ spent, considering i spend about £1k a month on my card, i'm hoping to build up some miles pretty quick, i think they also give you around 500 miles if you spend £250 in the first month

I have several different air-miles accounts, but for some reason most of the flights don't get credited. I book on-line, checkin on-line, print my own boarding pass etc. I think there is a bug in the system.

So I never have enought miles to take a flight.

all airmile accounts allow you to retro credit flights

another slightly related question, who in your opinion has the best quality service?

I thought this was a thread about the airmile changes that people are complaining about

I have a handful of miles with BA and Continental's program but not enough to go anywhere really. I have top tier with KLM and can therefore (depending on ticket type) rack up miles quite quickly as I get double.

KLM service is generally ok and they have lounge access in most airports.

The kicker with miles is that you still have to pay the taxes. For my last trip this was €400 each plus 25K miles each way per person!

If I had the choice, for long haul it would be Virgin or BA, for short hall they are all much the same IMHO (excluding "budget airlines").

You can if you remember to keep all the details to fill out their form, which will have a mandatory field for the one bit of information you don't have.


For short-haul Europe, I like Air Berlin, for long-haul business class, I like Air France. Different parts of the world I like different airlines, but would not travel BA.

I noticed when I flew regularly with KLM that certain bookings got more air mile credits than others. It might be the case that the bookings you're making are not eligible for air miles

No, I get statements like this:


Status miles collected: 5,118 ....... Flights completed: 4
Status miles to be collected: 14,882 ....... Flights to be completed: 20

I would have to find the flight details for 20 flight and fill in 20 forms, it would be cheaper just to pay for the flight.

Does this refer to flights you have taken or flights you will need to take to maintain or promote your card status?
