I recently travelled from London City airport to Rome via Amsterdam on a booking made on KLM 's website. The ticket was marketed as KLM throughout and the booking fair was L. The points for the leg from Amsterdam to Rome have been credited to my MilleMiglia account, but nothing for the flights from London city to Amsterdam (operated on behalf of KLM by CityJet, though with a KL prefix).
Surely the important thing is that the flight from London to Amsterdam has a KLM prefix and is in a fare class (L) which attracts Alitalia miles credit and recognition that the flight goes towards the qualifying flights' total?
Strange thing is, neither KLM for Alitalia seem to know the answer. Do any of you guys?
You will find the answer on the AZ MM Site:
https://www.alitalia.com/en_it/mille...lines/klm.html
"You can
only accumulate miles on
flights operated by KLM and on
flights operated by KLM in cooperation with all the SkyTeam Airline Partners."
AFAIK CityJet is no official SkyTeam Partner, nor is listed on the SkyTeam Partners of MM. So the answer will be that you won't get miles credit for this flight. And the KL flights were also shown in the system as KL codeshare flights OP by WX:
