No Lie, its a Code-share It didnt say CO metal did it. same out of EWR to LHR. You can go with CO but its a code-share on Virgin. CO Only flies into LGW. As is the case with many of the Alliances. The main part is that CO can get you there, maybe not on their metal or the type of 1st you want, but its better than not being able to get you there or anywhere.IMO
