Someone remind me how it works again...Avios generated on AA ticket
Thinking about massive tier point run out of INV to SEA via LHR, JFK and LEA
1000 tier points for a little over £2k...can't be ignored...
There is a difference of about £200 if you book with AA instead of BA. OK tier points are unaffected, but Avios generation...
If you are travelling on a ticket bought from AA and then flying on BA metal on a code share out of INV to LHR, then how does it work...??
Do you get the Avios based on who you bought the ticket from or on the metal you are flying...am I going to get the BA generated Avis for that sector or the AA ones...??

You can check earnings by using the online calculator on BA.com by putting each flight in.

OK, then if I buy this ticket from BA, can I assume that I will receive BA level Avios when travelling from JFK to LAX on AA metal...??

It isn't who you bought it from. What is the flight number of the flight on your ticket? AA or BA? Whichever one is listed is the marketing carrier.

I doff my cap at your knowledge...
However, the BA Avios calculator doesn't return a result for F class (which I'll be travelling) on the JFK to LAX sector...although it does for AA...
J is the highest it spits out for BA...
Should I assume that I will be capped at J on the sector when on a BA marketed but AA metal flight on this sector...??

You should earn at the correct rate for your selling class. I assume whoever did that table for BA forgot that there are still some AA domestic services with F/A selling class.
Double doff...
