EQM on UA/ANA Codeshare?

I should probably know this, but do I get full EQM for UA codeshare flight (bought through UA website) on ANA metal?

Anyone have experience with ANA transpac (LAX-NRT) in standard economy versus UA? I've done SFO-NRT and SEA-NRT on UA. Not that impressed by UA econ., but at least it was econ plus. Thoughts?

Thanks.

The codeshare is not a factor --- all that matters is who is the flight operator.

There have been recent improvements in ANA earning

Good question. I don't think that you do...at least not when I flew ANA in 2008.

Question: Does ANA economy have less leg room? I flew business only.

I flew NH911 on 6/13/11 from NRT to HKG. I got 100% bonus miles on this flight (1827 miles x 2).

NH == UA when it comes to EQM/RDM. The only difference is you don't get lifetime BIS credit. (I flew NH in June 2011).
On in-flight transpac Y service, NH beats UA, even with the new UA equipment that's now operating on transpac routes. Food is markedly better + you get a snack bar + decent size water bottle + ice-cream. Ua's only saving grace is E+

You still do earn miles, on those intra-asia flights, but not necessarily at the same rate. They also appear to be much more generous with awarding UA miles than they are with awarding their own miles.

One other interesting note, the distance from Taipei to NRT is 15 miles shorter for ANA than it is for United. 1341 vs 1356. Is there 98.91% accumulation factor for H class? (The *A timetable says 1330, so perhaps its just a case of moving islands.)

I would understand if the discrepancy were at HKG, where there actually are different airports with the same designation before/after 1998.

For TPE-NRT to be 15 miles different across carriers, hmm. Maybe UA was using an outdated almanac?

This is correct. My wife just took PEK-NRT on ANA, it was a CA# flight operated by ANA, booked into V class on ANA. She got 70% EQM, as well as, 70% RDM as well, and 100% elite bonus of 70% RDM in her Continental OP account. So, she earned 926 EQM and 1852 RDM on this sement.

For most codeshares, that's true. However, in my limited experiences with UA-code, NH-metal flights, I actually got 100% EQM/RDM when the fare classes were supposed to be 70%. Perhaps I got lucky on those few occasions (they were a while back), but I have read reports of similar experiences here.
