Rerouted- how to get Miles

[scullkr]

Hi,

I recently was booked Business class Perth to Dublin with mixed airlines: PER-KL (MH), KL- IST (TK) and IST-DUB (TK). I credited my miles to TK (Turkish Airlines), sacrificing the first leg for the other two.

However first flight was delayed and Malaysia Airlines rerouted us to KL- LHR and LHR- DUB on their own flights. However the TK FFN remained on the resissued boarding passes and no miles were credited of course as they are not partners.

Had I been booking Malaysian in the first place I would have credited the miles to Qatar.

Should this now be possible, and is it Malysia Airlines that should do this for me?

You should claim them through
Qatar

Ok thank you. I just anticipated an issue with the TK FFN listed on the boarding passes if I upload them but hopefully they understand the issue.

I only ended up getting the miles credited to Qatar for the PER-KL leg in the end. Does this sound correct? Should I not be entitled to either the rest of the Avios through the rerouted flight, or if not then Turkish Miles for the original flight booked even though I didn't fly with them in the end?
