It's Tampa to Atlanta on DL metal but codeshared as a Virgin Australia flight. Then LAX - SYD - MEL on Virginia Australia metal. Even ticketed as Virgin Australia, won't credit to V America? Trying to avoid banking to delta but may not have a choice. Going to SIn in July on Qatar biz and would really love to get miles banked to Aa for elite status as that's where my miles from that flight are going. Unfortunately price diff between *A and One World is too big to make it worthwhile.
