014 Ticket with AI flight only?
Hi,
I’m looking to earn AQD on a one way AI flight. Would the AC reservations line be able to book this for me on a 014 ticket? There is no AC codeshare on the flight and there would be no other flights on the ticket.

I don't think AC will ticket an itinerary when there are no AC flights included.
Edited to update: AC has restrictions on when they will ticket another airline's itinerary. IATA also governs some of these restrictions.

The only way you'll know is if you call AC. You should also check the fare rules of the AI flight as they may determine who can/can not ticket that fare.

Having AC ticket ACXXXX operated UA is different than ticketing UAXXX with no AC flights though.
OP may be able to do it if he goes through a TA, if the AI fare allows plating on other Airlines, and I think AC has a plating fee.

I cannot recall if I've done it with no flights marketed by UA though.
