Still a bit ambigous yes, but before wording was " when you are travelling in business". So i think they tried to emphasize it should be rev ticket.

Btw, when you book tickets from non-AY OW carriers, and they are codeshare flights, do you get the points for the carrier that the ticket is booked under or for the operating one? So for example, if I book a ticket with CX, and it's a codeshare flight that is actually operated by JL, do I get the CX points for that ticket? I assume I would get the CX points in this example but just want to double check...

In oneWorld it is always booking code of marketing carrier that matters (in Star alliance it is operating carrier, which is much more difficult to know).
So a CX marketed flight, operated by another OW airline, will earn by the CX table in AY+ program.

BTW, what you must be careful with, is if you book a codeshare that is operated by a non-OW airline. Then it likely will only earn to the program of the marketing carrier. A CX flight-number on NZ metal will earn 0 to AY+

If the flight is operated by a non-Oneworld carrier, then I reckon it depends. Some marketing carriers will credit regardless, some not.

The rule here is, if the flight is operated by a non-OW carrier, you will not earn points (unless you're on AY flight number). So if you fly eg. FJ metal, AA ticket, no AY+ points. There could very well be some exceptions, though.

So we can agree that it is best to avoid those flights, but I wouldn't make your peremptory statement.

I confirm that I got 4400 points as silver from HEL-PVR oneway so it's gonna be 8800 2ways. Cheapest possible way of buying from Supersaver at the time and about the same price as the cheapest aurinkomatkat that was available right before departure (550€).
