CO/VS Codeshare and EQM
This is something that has always confused me and I have seen different conflicting answers in my searches.
I know that you dont get any Elite Bonuses (Silver/Gold/Platinum) on Virgin flights. But which ones quailify for miles and do I need to purchase the flight ticket directly through CO. Here is a scenario I am looking at.
Have a business meeting early AM London time. So I want to catch the
7:30 a.m. JFK-LHR flight. This will get me in about 10pm and give me the chance to get a good night sleep before the meeting. This is a codeshare flight and is listed as CO8220 on Continental.COM
Here is my question
If I buy the ticket directly from Virgin will I get OnePass miles and will they be Elite Qualifying. Providing of course I add my OP number to the PNR (The Virgin ticket is $250 bucks cheaper that purchasing from CO)
