IAD-MAD Spanair/Aer Lingus/United Codeshare, $380 ai, mileage credit?
I saw some $380 roundtrips IAD-MAD, various dates in December and onward. Operated by Aer Lingus for United, but the flights are coded as Spanair.
What would the mileage earning rules be on these flights? UA.com says mileage applied to United-marketed Aer Lingus flights, but these are coded as Spanair.

Never mind, checked again on .bomb and it is AI Ltd. So, probably no mileage earned.

[QUOTE=aaron1262;15281985]shouldn't this be in the active MR forum? This is a good MR op for those still trying to make status by the end of the year.[/QUOTE
Looks like Sun thru Thurs earliest return is Sun.

Unbookable fare, unfortunately. I tried a few dates - if anyone finds a pair that works please post!
Apparently this is the only Aer Lingua flight that earns United miles (100%)...they have some sort of contract because UA doesn't actually want to fly the route.

So if Orbitz or whatever says it's a Spanair flight number, operated by United, does that mean it's marketed as United?

United considers this a United flight, you can even use upgrades as any other United flight. I'm not sure how the rest of the *A partners view this.
