It is not like UA's system where you can book a ticket through the UA site on Avianca issued as a 016 ticket and get award miles, PQM, PDQ.
If an AA flight shows on AS website, I thought that meant it was guaranteed to be a code-share?
In your example, I found that both the AA legs are AS code shares. On the flight list it shows the AA #, but if you add it to cart it shows the code-share:
While this phrase from the
old AA update doesn't guarantee all flights on alaskaair.com are code-shares, it certainly seems to insinuate it IMO (emphasis mine):
"You’ll still have lots of eligible American flights with an Alaska “AS” flight number to choose from in and out of Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and Phoenix.
As always, you can find eligible flights on alaskaair.com."
It'd be pretty crummy experience for me to buy a flight directly from alaskaair.com and not get code-share credit. Has anyone seen actual examples of this?
