Thanks - that is good news, especially as Virgin only give x0.5 miles for flying club members and Delta give you nothing.

I know that if I book the flight with a CO code I get EQMs, the only problem is that the same flights with a CO code come in at double the price. However is merely having a CO code on the flight enough to earn EQMs, even if I book it under the VS code?

I took a trip with Emirates last year from LGW-DXB-JNB and I actually earned EQMs on the final DXB-LGW leg as it was a CO codeshare flight even though I had booked it with the EK code. Was this just an EK thing or would it happen flying VS?
