Question re EQMs on *A

If I book a biz class fare on a *A carrier for November or December, will that earn me CO One Pass EQMs?

What about economy fares? Will they earn CO EQMs?

Trying to plan ahead to maximize my One Pass EQM mileage so that I hit either Gold or Plat this year.

Thanks.

Maybe. More likely on UA than on TK. But CO hasn't announced anything other than when ST earning reciprocity with stop.

I'm thinking of maybe doing a RTW on Singapore Airlines in Biz to capture as many EQMs as possible, but want to ensure that they can be credited to my CO-OnePass account before I book it!

I'd be reluctant to book anything on *A in Nov or Dec assuming that you'll earn miles. While I'm sure CO will work as swiftly as possible, there's no guaranteed entry date as of now and the only thing we know for certain is when we'll stop earning Skyteam miles.

Thanks, Rolov. I will wait to see whether we will get EQMs before I do anything! May just stick to domestic routes for now for MRs until we know more. Or, unless some good fares come up on CO metal for NRT, HKG, etc.
