my questions as an AAdvantage elite, for these CX codeshares on KA metal:
- these count towards my AAdvantage elite status, right ?
- these would get me the usual 100% bonus as well, right ?
- (i.e. these are considered the same as normal CX flights for AAdvantage purpose?)

another question in general...
- for people booking CX codeshare number, would they be allowed to use CX lounge as well ? or still just KA lounge as if it's a normal KA flight ? what's the usual CX policy regarding codeshares ?

thanks.
