It's actually more radical than that: it has to be coded by and operated by a Skyteam partner (not a FB partner). For instance, GOL is a FB partner, but while AF number operated by Gol is fine, and even Gol ticketed and operated will earn you award miles, AZ or DL number operated by Gol will not earn you anything. Same goes for Comair or JL etc.

So the basic rule is:

- Any AF or KL ticketed flight is treated the same regardless of operating carrier;

- Any Skyteam coded flight is only eligible for accrual if it is also operated by a Skyteam airline.
