DL coded flight on AF metal. Does it earn MQMs?
I am certain I read a thread in which DL coded flight on AF metal earned MQMs. Am I correct?
I'm getting ready to book itin for the family and this combination provides the best schedule for us. In our case, it is a U fare on DL #8517 on AF B747. Second choice, which would guarentee MQMs, is DL#824 on NW A330.

With the correct fare class and operating airline, AF-coded flights can be MQM earning.

I've only flown an AF 777 once (luckily in J on an award) but I went back and looked at the coach seats since I figured I would be there on future trips and they were 10 across (3-4-3) which made the seats very narrow.

To confirm all the above reassurances: In early December I flew a NW coded flight on AF from AMS to CDG, a 259 mile flight, on a U fare basis. My SkyMiles account was credited with 500 MQMs for that flight, in accordance with the minimum credit for short flights.
