Is there *any way* to book codeshares on co.com? For example, I need to go to SLC. Well it seems to make sense to take flight 4314 from DCA to SLC - after all it is a codeshare. I've learned that co.com doesn't allow you to do exclusive codeshares - every trip has to include some leg on an actual co flight. And I've tried to force the code share via the timetable, but I run into the same problem. Short of calling co and asking for the flight, and I guess not getting the EQMs, is there any way to do this?
The last time I talked with a CO rep they said the only airline CO can sell all codeshare flights on is NW. Otherwise they must have one leg operated by CO in the ticket. The EQM point is moot though. Booking online only effects CO flights. If it's the deep discount classes it will be 50% regardless of booking online.
