Popular Post reader Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 Recently noticed I hadn't received mileage credit for my last trip to bkk so called airline customer service. Since I was crediting miles to a partner account, they told me to contact that airline to initiate the process. Thought it was unusual work around but I followed through. The partner (AA) took my flights numbers and ticket number and said they would submit form to carrier (CX). Five days later received email from AA customer support, requesting copies of ticket receipt and boarding passes. I hadn't retained boarding passes for outbound flights but did manage to find my return boarding passes still in my carry on backpack. Sent those along today. Lesson learned: Don't dispose of those boarding passes until you've seen the miles on your account, especially when itinerary involves partner carriers. tm_nyc, Marc in Calif, BL8gPt and 4 others 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinapu Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Also recently on my trips to Latin America and Asia immigration officers asked for those boarding passes so better we guard them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithambrose Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 It seems that in Cambodia, where I have just been, you do need to keep paper boarding passes, the pass on your phone is not good enough. I was told to check in at a counter to get a boarding pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When checked -in on the phone boarding pass was issued but with clear note ' that pass can't be accepted at the airport you are flying from , please go to the counter to obtain paper one' or something to that effect .

thaiophilus Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Something else to keep is your checked baggage receipt. Some countries actually check that the bag you take away from the airport is the one you checked in. And if it never emerges from the carousel, that bit of paper may be the only proof that the bag existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
