As a follow on to my previous post yesterday, I have been looking for AA codeshares in Asia. I can find some e.g. AA 8486 from BKK to HND operated by JAL. Can these codeshares be used if they are not immediately followed/preceded by a trans-pacific flight. I'm not sure if they are available independantly or if the agreement between AA and JAL is to allow more destinations to/from US and hence carry additional constraints on usage.
So far I've found AA codeshares with JAL/Cathay for BKK, SIN, CGK, ICN, SGN and DPS but nothing in Australia or NZ
The rules for AA codeshares may vary by country. Ask the AA RTW desk. They would be keen on AA codeshares, as would maximize the AA share of the ticket.
If crediting to AAdvantage AA codeshares may not be the best for AA earnings. Need to do calculations .

QF has some AA codeshares in Australia and trans Tasman (AU<--NZ). Guess will be for flights that could connect to AA long haul services.
Nothing
in NZ as QF or any oneworld airlines do not operate
in NZ. QF has some codeshares with Jetstar JQ NZ (LCC owned by QF), which are OK for *ONE* and GLOB* tickets
