Earning OP miles on Eva Air
Reading some of the posts, it seems like I can earn OP miles for any flight flown on Eva Air. Is that true? I thought you could earn OP miles only if you're flying on a codeshare, with a CO flight number...

You earn OnePass mileage on all EVA flights.

No - While you can earn OP miles on Eva flights systemwide, you can earn elite miles on Eva metal only if you have a CO (codeshare) ticket. I think it's similar to the arrangement with Air France.

I flew EVA last year to Viet Nam and the service and seating was excellent in Evergreen Deluxe. You even get a larger seat than regular Economy.
I'm a Platinum Elite on CO and I did recieve full 125% mileage credit.

In fact, looking at http://www.cooltravelassistant.com, it appears that Continental's code share with Eva gets from Newark to Taipei in a smashing 48 minutes, implying at average airspeed speed of 12,290 mph! NASA must be proud!

If you don't mind, I'll e-mail you about your trip to Vietnam on Eva. I'm interested in doing the same for later this year.
Thanks.

My experience has been that you will get elite miles as long as the flight is code-shared, even tickted with a BR flight #.

I'm planning to fly from LAX-TPE next month, which is a code share flight with CO. However, are you saying that I can just go buy a ticket from EVA (with BR flight numbers, BR ticket stock), and still be eligible for OP elite miles? Has somebody done this before?

I was pleasantly surprised to get full CO Platinum Elite credit even though I purchased the ticket from an EVA consolidator.
