If anyone could advise me if I can collect Aeroplan miles on flight LX 8066 - this assumes I book the ticket through Swiss Air Lines - I would be grateful.
Thanks, Michael
The flight is operated by WK and only sold as a codeshare by LX. Since AC only grants miles based on the operating carrier, you would not receive any miles since AC gives no miles for WK flights.
However, you could collect miles on WK flight with Miles & More, since they have an agreement with WK. But also that sometimes leads to nothing but hassle because a lof of times credit of WK operated flights doesn't work automatically.
PS: Since your question is basically regarding earning Air Canada Aeroplan miles, maybe you would get more / better answers in the Air Canada Airplan forum.
