Different FF programs on same reservation
 
I am looking at flying

DUB-LHR-EWR-MCO

DUB-LHR UA flight number but operated by Aer Lingus
LHR-EWR-MCO all UA flight number operated by United.

Can I use my UA frequent flyer number for the DUB-LHR and then my Turkish one for the remaining flights?

DUB-LHR won't earn me any miles on my TK account but will on my United one.

Bump to see if anyone knows the answer?

yes, you can earn by segment on *A. It can be tedious, but it is possible. At the airport where you wish to change your FQTV# ask the GA to change it.

Multiple reports this has been unreliable for the past few years.

If I were you, I would not put the number in until I reach LHR.

Then you can manually request credit from UA for DUB-LHR.

I have done this as recently as 3 weeks ago and it worked very well crediting some segments to UA and other to LH ... no problem whatsoever.

YMMV, but w/ different operating carriers and splitting that up should not be an issue. Taking a connecting flight on UA and changing the program at the connecting airport is trickier ... but it can be done.

How did you go about doing it? I rang up today and was told this was not possible.
