Hello,

I would just like a quick debrief on what exactly is a Code-Share flight, and what isn't please.

If I understand correctly, a flight on another carrier with a code that starts with AC is a code-share flight, whereas a flight booked on AC but with a flight number starting with something else than AC is not a code-share flight?

The reason I am asking is that I have some options on a multi-city booking:

HND-FUK

AC 6229 - Operated by All Nippon Airways (with *A logo)
or
NH 269 - Operated by All Nippon Airways (with the little blue plane)

Both refer to the same "foot note".

My guess is that AC 6229 is on ANA metal, whereas NH 269 is on APJ or VNL.

Thanks for the answers and education.

*Mods: please edit thread title to make future searches easier, thanks





Edit:
I found this http://www.aircanada.com/en/travelin...codeshare.html , but I would still like additional details/experiences if possible. The example they give refers to two different airlines, whereas in my case it's the same airline.

Also, the word I was looking for is Code Share vs Interline?
