So basically the pros and cons of booking with AS are:
Pro:
- get 100% AS miles for economy tickets
- can use AS wallet credit (incl. Costco giftcards)
- can receive funds back into AS wallet if ticket canceled
Cons:
- general problems with codeshares when things go wrong
- potentially fewer AS RDM/EQM credits for premium cabins
