The AA - HU partnership and code sharing between US and China and connecting flights in China began 7 Dec 2011.
Flying on Hainan Airlines / HU will not earn AAdvantage miles unless one is flying an AA codeshare operated by HU.
You may need to connect to / from AA to book an AA codeshare on HU; codeshare fare classes may be in higher classes than one can book on HU, and may cost significantly more than booking as HU in some cases.

The key elements of the American-Hainan agreement are:
- Codesharing (AA*) on direct flights operated by Hainan beyond Beijing that will allow customers on American's Chicago- Beijing flights to make connections to cities within China.
- Codesharing (AA*) on direct flights operated by Hainan between Beijing and Seattle.
- Codesharing (HU*) on direct flights operated by American beyond Seattle that will allow customers on Hainan's Beijing- Seattle flights access to American's domestic network.
- Codesharing (HU*) on direct flights operated by American between Shanghai and Chicago/ Los Angeles and between Beijing and Chicago.
- Improvement in flight schedules and connection times to benefit customers of both airlines.
- Increased opportunities for customers of each airline to earn and redeem frequent flyer miles/points on services operated by the other.

That is correct. And AA codeshares sometimes price into specific fare buckets that are not the lowest fare fare buckets (to put it mildly). Your best bet is AA to PVG or PEK and HU onward as an AA codeshare.

How To Book AA Codeshare on Hainan to China
I can find the flights I wanted in May from BOS-PEK-XIY and RT on the Hainan website but for the life of me can't figure out how to book them as AA codeshare flights.
Is there some trick in the AA.com web site that displays partner codeshare flights?
The Hainan J fare structure is quite attractive but I would like to get AA mileage as well.

Review the last page or two of this thread for a similar question and JDiver's answer:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...-2011-a-4.html
Also, iirc, AA was only offering codeshares on some of Hainan's flights.

If one searches for Hainan on AA.COM it only gives you a link to the Hainan-US web site.
If you search the HU web site for american airlines you get no hits

I haven't found an AA codeshare on the BOS-PEK. If you look at the earlier posts there was a list of codeshare services, I don't know if the list is still current.

The lonely 4x/week HU flight is not codeshared by AA. www.aa.com indeed has the correct information by showing none.
In any case, you can only get HU fares if you book that flight under the HU code.

It appears BOS-PEK is not sold as an AA codeshare by AA. Try running it as if you were ticketing on aa.com, see if it comes up. You can try the downloadable timetable at aa.com as well, from here.

The wiki has some of the information available; the wiki post is shown at the top of each rendered page in this thread.

Even if it was, you can be damn sure that $3000 J fares would not be on offer as code shares. (I'm reminded of the days when AA used to code share with BR; die hard AA would routinely pay much more to fly Y than Deluxe just to get AA miles... seemed insane to me, but to each his own.)

Your AA status is immaterial. You only earn EQM on HU if you fly as an AA marketed flight (codeshare). That could require an AA connection to HU to prchase.
