When I re-booked I asked about the flight I wanted and they told me they don't see it. I am guessing because it was not a codeshare.
It does not need to be a codeshare. However the reward buckets that CO uses is different than what VS uses for its FF program. So whereas a Flying Club memeber maybe able to book reward seats, they may be zero inventory on the CO side. However, keep in mind that using OnePass will save you SIGNIFICANTLY the taxes and duties. I just booked and used a North America to Africa ticket...the taxes if I booked through VS on Flying Club in Upper Class were close to US$800. On CO I booked it for around $100. and 10k less miles!!!!
