Wondering if ORC will apply in this situation.
I was booked with SkyMiles LHR-SEA-SNA (all DL operated) in Premium Select (main for the domestic leg). DL21 from LHR to SEA cancelled (auto rebooked onto next day LHR-MSP-SNA, DL operated) so I called and was rebooked to VIR105 LHR to SEA and DL SEA-SNA same day as originally scheduled.
My question really is, since award tickets normally only earn MQM/MQD when on DL Metal, can I use ORC to get MQM for the Virgin Atlantic leg.
Boarding pass shows Premium/G for the LHR-SEA leg and Y for SEA-SNA.
