I get that but this is a WK flight. You can tell who the flight really is for when you look at the call sign when flying. I just did ZRH-BIO-ZRH - officially operated by LX but LX for WK - on LX metal and crews but offering WK service (strangely - which now still has free food an drinks while LX is only paid now). The YYC-ZRH is for sure a WK flight with LX code. They run strange code shares and you can even checkin as if it was LX and for AE you get points and some status perks like baggage / priority checking and sometimes lounge (YMMV).
What I have never been able to do is get a WK route to get a redemption (such as the YVR/YYC-ZRH).
Will have to poke around and see if I can find some availability and perhaps some reasons why this is possible.
