AZ awards EQM on YYZ-MXP, however AZ is using CY on MXP-LCA. If the ticket numbers on my MXP-LCA segments are "AZ XXXX", does that mean I will gain EQM on the CY segments?
CO.COM quote:Mileage Accrual Chart--Alitalia (AZ) flight number on ticket for Alitalia- and Alitalia Express-operated flights

and of course they say this too:All other fare classes do not accrue mileage. Continental Airlines and Alitalia reserve the right to change the eligible fare classes at any time without notice. :rolleyes:

thank you for any help you can provide

I can't speak for all skyteam programs, but I know that KL/AF would be trouble. Is CY a CO partner airline? If yes, then you should be able to make an argument here. Best idea is, give OP a call and find out.

My understanding is that the CY flights will earn nothing in CO/NW/DL. I intend to credit the AZ operated flights to CO, and the rest to AZ.

I also think this is not officially permitted by CO...they say you must credit an entire trip to a single program....but think I will get away with this so long as all eligible CO flights (AZ op) have my CO number on them, and all CY flights have my AZ #.
