Also great news as on routes like HKG/PVG, where the KA op services are 3-class, while the newly-introduced CX op flights offer only Y and J and on the inbound timings are useless if you're planning to connect on to another flight.
Not sure whether this means that xONEx tix can be booked on KA metal using the CX designator, I suspect not (at least not for a little while yet).
Hope the update is useful.
I'm not sure I understand the bolded text. In order to be eligible for mileage credit a codeshare must be on a oneworld member airline. KA still isn't a member therefore CX codeshares on KA flights don't automatically earn miles. From other threads it seems that QF has added KA as a partner and so your scenario would work for QF but KA is not a partner yet with, for example, AA so CX codeshares on KA would not be eligible for AA mileage credit.
