Is it possible to earn *A miles (not Voyager) on an SAA ticketed flight operated by Mango? The price difference is around $10, which is worth it if I get the miles, as that would help my *G requalification.
[either way, I am likely to be on a Mango flight next week, so will try to make time to go to the checkin desk and ask them about interlining luggage as in your case, [B]gspurr, and will report back if I manage]
1) No *A miles on Mango
2) I was able to thru-check luggage on Mango to SAA connection. I booked as a single ticket (and Mango flight was sold as an SAA flight operated by Mango). Everything arrived fine in the US (so far as I can tell!).
