Miles on Code Share with Tarom
 
Hello,

I've booked a leg with TK for OTP-IST-DOH. First leg is operated by RO.
I am gold in both SkyTeam (through AF/KL) and Star Alliance (through A3).
What's the best way to get the XP/status/miles and benefits from both? Should I not add any FF number and have them do it at the desk in OTP for Tarom and then in IST at the Turkish Airlines transfer desk or is there a better way?

Thanks!

For the OTP-IST leg you will not get anything, irrespective of what / when you add as FFN.

This is what TK website says:


You can earn Miles on Codeshare flights operated under the TK flight number by Star Alliance member airlines or Miles&Smiles program partner airlines. However, you cannot earn Miles on Codeshare flights operated by airlines that are not Miles&Smiles program partners. For detailed information about Miles&Smiles program partner airlines click here.
RO is neither a Star Alliance member nor a Miles&Smiles partner and thus no miles will be credited by TK.

Clearly, as mileage credit in *A is based on the operating carrier, no miles will be credited to Miles+Bonus as the flight, although sold under a TK flight number, is not operated by a *A carrier.

Finally, as is normally the case with Flying Blue, and as stated on the website, no miles will be credited to FlyingBlue as this is not marketed as RO flight.

P.S. Forgot to mention the obvious, as long as your IST-DOH leg has TK flight number and is operated by TK, you may credit this to your Miles+Bonus account as elaborated on their website.

Thanks Michael! Much appreciated! I forgot about the rule with the marketed flight.
I will then just add my A3 number in the booking and see if RO will at least tag my luggage as priority.
