Didn't they just finish one? So, probably, another couple of months?

I'd hold out for 50%, and then stock up for the year.

From what i gather online, AS credit miles according to operating metal.
What happens on O class QF marketed ticket operated by
EK? O class is business on EK, do you earn 225% on those flight?

There is very specific language on the Emirates partner page concerning QF code shares (https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mi...tners/emirates).
In short, EK operated flights have to be on EK ticket stock to qualify for mileage earning.

Thank you
I see the difference now.
There goes my MR plan.

Last September I had native EK flight numbers on LA stock post automatically. I would never attempt a codeshare on EK metal though. I will be flying EK later this week SEZ-DXB & DXB-NRT in J again on LA stock.

If I had the cash to throw around, I'd book an EK-metal codeshare just to see if it actually does credit. Given how they're ignoring the non-EK ticketing in your case and totally disregarding the rules with other partners, I wouldn't be shocked. Ultimately, though, it'd be nice if AS would be clear about what codeshares they will credit instead of maintaining this unofficial "probably but not guaranteed" status quo.

Not really a question that matters at all, just a curiosity of mine. The SEA-PIT flight is currently AS198, and is that flight number for at least a few more months. I don't know exactly when, but at some point in the future (appears to be around October), it changes to be AS412 instead. 412 also just happens to be the area code for the majority of Pittsburgh.

Any idea if this is just a coincidence, or does AS do this from time to time? I mentioned it on Twitter but got no response, probably because it doesn't really need one and it doesn't matter anyway. Like I said, I was just curious if this might have been intentional. It certainly makes remembering the flight number easier for me, having grown up near Pittsburgh!

Would like to know what is fees associated with cancelling award ticket in first/ business class when cancelled before 60 days of flight. FWIW, flight will be on British airways.
Thanks

What class is your ticket in? The options are F, P, D, A, & U. All but U have access to the AS Lounges in SEA.

And, welcome to FlyerTalk!

F fare gets you into the AS SEA lounge upon arrival. Show the AS boarding pass for AS lounge access.

Refundable fare ??

I think I've got the questions figured out but wanted verification from the experts here.

If I buy a refundable fare ticket, Y or F, from sea-ogg for mid-Dec travel and find out I need to cancel the flt (not reschedule) can I do that up to the day before travel starts?
Will the refund go back to original form of pymt and not into MyWallet?
Last, is the full amount refunded, inc. taxes & fees?
