Mileage credit for same flight number, different class
I just booked myself on:
US #137 DCA-DFW Booking Class E (US Economy) -- AA operated but US flight number
AA #137 DFW-HKG Booking Class I (AA Business) -- AA operated and AA flight number
So US FFN, US ticket stock, AA operated flights.
I believe the ticket will be issued on US ticket stock, once it passes through my corporate rate desk.
My question is how this will credit, given that I believe "direct" flights (is this considered a direct flight?) credit based on the through-trip duration.
1. Will the total mileage credit as DCA-HKG or DCA-DFW-HKG? Not sure if the code-share impacts this.
2. Will I receive the COB bonus for DFW-HKG?
I will go ahead and move my DCA-DFW flight up to the earlier (6am) flight if there is a tangible impact to mileage, but want to make sure prior to making this change.
