I recently booked LED-TLL-SPU on LOT with both flights operated by "regional jet" (Nordica). However, the LED-TLL ssgement is operated by an ATR 72, and I wasn't able to select seats for it. I fb messaged Nordica to do so, and they said I wouldn't even earn any *A miles on this segment, but that *G benefits would apply. So are ATR 72 operated flights not full on *A flightss??

Nordica (or, to be more precise, LOT's and Nordica's joint-venture Regional Jet) operates ATR72-600s for SAS only, you also generally won't see these planes doing Nordica routes (though initially some TLL-LED flights were operated on them, before the SAS deal went into force).

The issue for TLL-LED-TLL is Russia isn’t in the open skies agreement so LOT can’t fly to Russia from Estonia, only from Poland, so Nordica fly there under their own flight code codeshared with LOT and Nordica aren’t in *A hence no miles. I suspect the benefits are there though as it’s a *A ticket. I suspect this is why you can’t choose seats as it’s not a LOT scheduled flight. The codeshare is the Nordica flight number with an 8 in front.
I suspect it could be like a wet leasing contract, the carrier performing the wet lease is in the alliance of the operating carrier when it’s their flights.

IMHO the operational leg info means that - as EE is not a *A carrier - you will not earn miles. Still nice that they are willing to extend standard *G benefits to you...

You can only buy these flights as LO flights on LO tickets, hence the benefits.

Todays LO785 from WAW to TLL was a LOT E85 rather than the usual Nordic CR9.
It then flew the LO786 return
Currently tomorrows LO786 is showing as a Nordica CR9

I was recently travelling on a wholly LO booking where the TLL-WAW delay (DT tech) caused me to miss my connecting flight in WAW and arrive in my destination more than 3 hours late.
Would I issue the claim against this lot or LOT?

i would contact LOT. If there is anything with Nordica, LOT will pass it on to them.
