Do you mind to share your itinerary and which segment you manage to get QR codeshare?

I just got a reply from QF Twitter team, the response was same with call, they cant see it in reservation system, thus, cant book for me under QR code.

Is the above code share strategy to enhance credit to an AA FFP? Credit would be by miles flown instead of proportional cost/total distance flown on RTW?
If not AA FFP, which FFP?
TIA.

If you actually mean taxes (meaning government imposed charges) then no, they are the same for any carrier serving an airport. But if you actually mean YQ / YR then yes it varies significantly depending on ticketing carrier / marketing carrier / departure point, etc. Those are wildly variable. You may experiences increases or decreases in total price, especially ex- CAI and ex-OSL. ex-Japan is a lot more stable since there's no YQ. And yes you most likely have lower surcharges on a JL code than BA since BA is one of the worst offenders in the entirety of the oneworld alliance.





Absolutely not, it's either available or it's not. They can't just push availability in normal circumstances. But availability may be a bit different than you can see on your own.





Careful about that because they'll generally require at least one AA long haul segment on an AA code. Additionally they have been known to disallow using non-AA codes on AA metal in the past. Sure they'll allow you to use any codeshare you want aside from those flights, but that can be significant.


Example on my next RTW itinerary I have:

HND-JFK (JL)
JFK-GRU (AA metal JL Code)
GRU-DFW (AA metal JL Code)
DFW-STL (AA code)
STL-SEA-DOH (AS, QR codes)

That would never in a million years be allowed by AA RTW desk. And would be detrimental to an AAdvantage member if it wasn't JL, AS, and QR coded.

I had almost exact itinerary but booked from AA RTW desk. JL from JP to AA, AA round trip from US to South America, then QR from US to DOH.

I am looking to change the first leg of a DONE4 from CAI-CMN-JFK to CAI-LHR-JFK. Wondering if anyone can confirm:
1. Is there any problem transiting through Europe assuming the ticket ends in Europe?
2. Right now there is no D availability through BA on one way flights. However, if booked as outbound legs of a return on BA there is D availability. Additionally there is D class availability on the BA flights if booked as oneway on Iberia or American. Would BA be prepared to ticket this?
Thanks in advance

I am planing to change my ticket with a LAX-LHR segment. However I can find any D cabin in ITA MATRIX in any date. In oneworld RTW tool, there is only AA flight for LAX-LHR, while I want to post all the points to AAdvantage, which means I'd better not to choose AA/BA/IB. Is it possible for me to change to a AY codeshare flight for LAX-LHR?

if your ticket issued by QF, need to ask them to check whether the codeshare is available in their system or not

I contact QF via twitter hours ago, they still do not reply me yet.

Yes, exactly. AAdvantage is extremely punitive for AA codes on RTWs when they credit as 'revenue base' which most seem to do now.

looking at the flight calculator, the same flight (I checked LHR-HND with a A fare) yields significantly more Avios on BA and AA than on QR/QF/JL/CX. But given it’s a RTW ticket, I don’t know if the « per segment » avios would apply or if it would be the new « money spent multiplied by multiplier » system.

This is helpful, thanks. Do you happen to know if that’s also the case for AA-marketed flights credited to BAEC?

For that I'd have to point you to the BAEC forum. I don't remember if AA codes got shifted to the revenue model or not, and if RTWs were affected, as there was some speculation that they might not be but don't recall seeing data points.
