If you take the train between XFP/XFR and CPH will you earn any AC miles or segments? If you have a SK/LH ticket away from CPH you can have a SK flight number on the train, will that be enough? Since the train isnt operated by SK I dont think you will earn any miles but can someone say for sure?

With due respect, I think such an arcane question needs to be directed to either Air Canada's Aeroplan centre or SK directly. Under normal circumstances code shares are iffy when flown by non-STAR Alliance carriers and must be booked in a certain way. This particular situation involves so many other variables — it is not an airline flight, it is not operated by a STAR alliance or any other IATA carrier — that you would have to get a ruling in writing from some true authority, not just us. UA has a couple of such "flights" on buses and they may indeed count on STAR partners. LH has similar "flights" on German railways but I have never heard of Aeroplan giving them credit, though UA does. There is usually a listing of such inelligible "flight" numbers somewhere.

Greetings Kempis,

Wish I had an answer for you based on track record. I don't blame you for posing your question here as I often get yes and no answers to the same question when I call the Frequent Flyer plan in question. Thus, having an answer from a fellow Flyertalker who has the "track record" answer to your question. I called Aeroplan last week and the woman, admitting to be a trainee, didn't answer diddly to my questions (she had no idea what "comp status" meant", kept saying she'll be back after talking to a supervisor). Good luck to getting a FT response.

I will go out on a limb and guess that, no, you won't.

But send in your stubs, anyway, and see.
