Non bookable codeshares
I was on a Flybe BHX - GLA yesterday and return tonight. I notice that the flight also has Virgin and Emirates codes showing for it on the screens. That flight isn't bookable on the Emirates website. Is there any way to get the flight atta bed to the Emirates code? I could then,as a gold, use the lounge and even get points.

The code share only works if you are connecting to or from an EK flight when booking it as a single ticket.
I have used it twice this year on EK while flying
IOM-MAN-DXB-DEL-DXB-MAN-IOM
The advantage is that I get my full baggage allowance from checkin to final destination .Bags are also checked in all the way through.
Worked out cheaper than buying separate FLYBE and EK tickets .
However I did not get any skywards/tier miles for the flights taken on FLYBE.
