Does a Belavia flight earn TP?
I'm looking at a trip to Belarus early next year, booked through the Finnair website. Another thread I've seen today suggests that the HEL-MSQ hop on a AY flight number but Norra plane would earn tier points, but is the same true for an AY number on Belavia?

The Norra flights are a bit different, they are AY prime flights rather than codeshares, there is no Norra flight number. They are AY flights. They are therefore oneworld marketed and operated so earn.

I see that there is a AY6601 flight noted as being operated by Belavia? This seems to be an AY codeshare on this route - oneworld marketed but non-oneworld operated flights do not earn avios or TPs (apart from a few minor exceptions).
The Norra flights are a bit different, they are AY prime flights rather than codeshares, there is no Norra flight number. They are AY flights. They are therefore oneworld marketed and operated so earn.

I've gone ahead a booked the AY6601 flight anyway but just thought, does your comment mean that I won't be able to use the lounge in HEL? Or am I ok because it's an AY flight number?
