If I am flying on a *A codeshare on non-*A metal, do I still get miles/EQM?
No. The operating metal (airline) is the deciding factor. *A airlines have lots of individual codeshares with other carriers for any number of reasons. If you want miles/EQMs you have to be on a *A carrier flying on a fare class that qualifies for credit.Originally Posted by Orwaid

That's not entirely true. Continental has a marketing relationship with Virgin Atlantic (which is not in *A); flying VS earns you both miles and EQM with CO.Originally Posted by UAPremExecflyer

Similarly, UA has an agreement with Aer Lingus that earns miles but no EQM.
Both UA and CO have agreements with Hawaiian Airlines that earn you miles on inter-island flights.
And so on...

But I think you still need to be careful about which FF number you input into your reservation record. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but it is my undertsanding that if you fly Aer Lingus Express on a UA code-share, you wil not get credit if you use your CO OnePass account number, but you will get credit if you use your UA MileagePlus number.Originally Posted by SFOSpiff

You should always pay attention to codeshares and alliance flights, even when it's not specifically a codeshare. For example, you can credit a LH flight to either CO or UA, regardless of how you booked it, but you'll get different results. For example, you can credit a LH "T" fare (when it's a EU flight connecting to a transcon) to UA but you'll get no miles with CO. Conversely, a LH "P" fare will earn more EQM with CO than with UA.

OK, I will 'fess up. I am flying TK JFK-IST and then on a TK codeshare IST-KUL on MH metal.
If I can't credit the MH segment to a *A FFP, can I credit it to MH or Skyteam and still credit JFK-IST to a *A FFP?
Assuming the JFK-IST fare basis earns miles, then you can credit to *A.Originally Posted by Orwaid

For IST-KUL you should again check the fare basis, and go to a Skyteam website and see if that carrier and routing earns miles.
Hi -
So you are saying that I can credit the TK leg to *A and the MH leg to Skyteam?
I have never used two FF accounts like this, one on the originating flight and a different one on the connecting flight.
Is this doable?

Only if the VS flight also has a CO code on it (though one need not be ticketed on the CO code). Lots of nuance in that partnership.Originally Posted by SFOSpiff

Can't see why that would be a problem.... unless the codeshare screws it up in another way!! 
I fly multi-airline/two alliance itneraries regularly (booked by a TA) and have no problem crediting the OW flights to my QF FF account and the *A flights to my NZ one...

You can credit different segments to different frequent flier programs. However, MH is not a member of Skyteam.Originally Posted by Orwaid

Yes, you are right. MH is not a member of Skyteam, but I think I can credit their flights to my Skymiles account.
Skyteam credits are based on marketing carriers instead operating carriers. DL/MH partnership is a special one, not part of Skyteam. You may want to check with DL to see if you can earn miles or not.Originally Posted by Orwaid
