Code Share w/US Air
I am heading to DEN at the end of the month and found flights that meet my schedule from DCA using a non-ual.com (Gov't contract carrier) site. When I spoke to the agent to book the tics, I was told that these flights are US Air code share. I was told that my miles would be "status" qualifying miles. A United agent confirmed this but that since was new she had to check on it. Of course, I have to check in at the US Air counter, and I could not use my Premier status for seating. Anyone else come up against this?
Thanks.

Effective March 1, UA and US are recognizing elite status on each other. So with your Premier status, you can use the US Preferred line for check-in. You should also be able to call in advance and secure a preferred seat. But since US doesn't have anything like UA's Economy Plus seating, that is a limited benefit.
