Flying for Fun

I am well aware, however there is specific additional verbage for EK flights.

Qualify for mileage accrual Emirates

Flights must fall within the eligible flight number range below, and your flight must be marketed and operated by Emirates. Ticket has to be on Emirates ticket stock to qualify.

LA markets flights LA806 SYD-SCL & LA807 SCL-SYD which are QF operated as QF27 & QF28. These two LA flights are specifically excluded from MP accural while their QF (and more expensive) counterparts aren't. I flew that flight in September and AS made a one-time exception for me as I had purchased my ticket prior to the new LA Charts that took effect July 1st.

If you are going to request a manual credit based on the partner-partner codeshare flight then it is probably a good idea to make sure the Marketed flight is eligible to start with.

While AS will usually allow a credit based on the operating carrier charts, however, it is outside the T&Cs of Mileage Plan accural and as such one shouldn't "expect" to get credit especially when EK flights require being issued on EK ticket stock.

Now having said that, I have had KE, QF, LA (not LA806), EK & CX flights all automatically post to MP, all native airline flight numbers, all issued on LA stock. I try to stay away from Codeshares to minimize the hassle. I like to know I will get credit for the flight.
