On many trips, our tickets are written in the destination and are given to you when we arrive. On our last trip to Ethiopia, we had 4 domestic flights on the excellent Ethiopian Airlines. We found that without the part of the ticket kept by gate staff, we were unable to get ff credit on the Star Alliance Group. On our Argentina Trip August 2013 we will again have domestic flights……

Here is our tip: photograph the full paper boarding pass before you board and before the ticket is torn by gate staff. The ticket number will be in the lower-left as in the illustration we provide. You need this number to get ff credit.

Join Phyllis Stoller to Argentina this August. And remember to photograph your domestic tickets if you want mileage on these flights!
