star alliance will process all flights within partner airlines without doubt, you will get some miles out of all flight unless the flight already mentioned no miles earned.
same as skyteam.

but one world, meh, mas never processed any miles for qr i believe.

I hate to come to the defence of MAS. That's the last thing I want to do.
But in December 2013 and January 2014, I did receive Enrich miles for my flights with QR. For KL-Doha, I got 916 points elite miles. Since there was a promotion, I received 1832 enrich miles.

However, I also retro-claimed miles for flight with their partners. They were so slow in doing their work and took more than 6 months. First, they said eligible and I got miles, but then deducted again because they said, after checking, not eligible.
Say early lah so that I can claim with other FFP, but it was after 6 months already so can't claim miles with another FFP. vmad.gif vmad.gif

this is not defence of mas, but you are promoting QR.
You are using Enrich FFP to travel on QR right?
QR is giving you miles by telling MAS about it.
I have no doubts about QR, they are one of the best FFP programme around.

yes indeed. So nowadays, I avoid MAS if I can and collect points only with QR.

add on to my story: Actually, I checked before I submitted my retro-claim. I knew I was eligible for miles. Then MAS answer was, the booking class written on my boarding pass is wrong, instead my actual booking class is not eligible for enrich miles. Not sure true or not but I have no way to verify. When they initially credited me the miles, it was almost 6 months; then when they deducted my miles, it was already over 6 months so I can't claim with another airlines.

The flight was within Europe and it cost €150. Not even cheap but I still didn't receive any miles. vmad.gif vmad.gif

Now I'm QR all the way and soon will be a silver member. rclxm9.gif
Been with Enrich for so long but never got to silver status.

TSOM it's possible. Some carriers only print the 'class of service' on the BP (e.g. Y for economy, J for biz), but the actual fare class is different. Best way to know for sure is the eTicket.

anyway, it's too late now. If I had known the booking class not eligible for MAS enrich miles, would have chosen another airlines instead since it was a paid journey. When purchasing the tickets, I don't think I saw the booking class. Only after e-tkt is issued that I can see the booking class.

MAS should have also confirmed faster with me mah .... sad.gif took 4 months for verification!!
Otherwise I can still claim with another airlines FFP.
