When you book a BA or AA codeshare on AY - do you get the Avios credit for AA/BA or (slightly lower) AY?

Flying for Fun

I am not certain with Avios, I am crediting to AS. Generally, the marketing carrier, the 2 letter carrier code preceeding the flight number, determines earnings. You can use the calculator to determine earnings.

I flew LAX-DFW(AA)-HEL(AY) last week, both with BA flight numbers & earned according to the BA charts in Mileage Plan. That is favourable for AS accrual since BA flights in premium cabins have an additional 100% RDM bonus that you wouldn't earn on AY or AA.

my LHR-DFW has a timing change which results in the itinerary going below MCT in DFW (90 min). What are my options? Can I have them route me via DFW both ways? Can I have them route me via DOH with QR? Can I have them book me in a higher earning class (J, C, D, for example, instead of I)?

if I paid with a FTV from a previous BA booking can I get a full refund in cash?

thanks so much.

It‘s definitely possible to get routed through DOH on QR, and also to get moved in full fare J so you can earn more avios. Don’t take no for an answer, HUCA until you get a competent agent that agrees.

Hi, on Oneworld, you get the mileage credit based on the marketing carrier (i.e The flight prefix you have for each flight). So BA marketed, AY operated earns per BA earning rates

I have been trying for weeks to include segments via DOH on this fare, including on BA and AA operated flights in/out DOH where I class was available. (as QR does not show up on the fare rules). I was not able to succeed. I think because despite the mileage deduction of 2500 miles when routed via DOH you simply exceed the MPM way too much. I seriously doubt any agent will reroute you via DOH for a segment between LHR and DFW as AA operates also direct flights between the two cities, not mentioning the many possibilities with a one stop connection in the US... But let us know if you succeed with this request, i am actually curious to know how you can include DOH in this fare...
However, they could certainly rebook you on a higher fare class if I is no longer available for the new flights.

Thanks!

To replace a cancelled (or no-longer-viable) segment between W Europe and N America?

You seem very confident, Deckter, ("definitely") -- do you have experience of this being allowed/approved? For many here it would be a dream result!

Sorry, forgot to put after my post.

Definitely possible on short term IRROPS, happened to me 2 weeks ago. AA39 LHR-MIA cancelled less than 24hours before departure, called AA, rebooked via DOH in full J whole way (PRG-DOH-MIA, over 38K LP/RDMS as AA EXP) and it was originally just basic economy ticket:-) on 001(AA) stock, economy class PRG-LHR, business (C class upgrade using SWU) on LHR-MIA leg.

There’s plenty of people, and include myself in that group, who must’ve thought “oh that can only happen during IRROPS!” (and a good agent, and some luck), but what if OP knows something we don’t?
oh well, a boy and a girl can dream!

Can you get a stop-over in JFK on this fare?
I've tried pricing it on ITA and it doesn't seem to like that.

No US stop overs possible on this fare without paying $$$

JimmyTheJock

Yes...I was just about to edit my post to say that I'd missed that earlier upthread.

Thought about nesting it with the JFK-SYD and back was interesting me.

I would need some help ... I got my itinerary set up in Matrix, it was correctly transferred to AA through Powertools, I filled in all details but the process errored out on the last stage (says there was a problem confirming my flights ...). Anyone else had the same problem and managed to resolving it? or suggestions for alternative ways of booking? Thanks in advance.
