AY codeshare on QF

[tdimdad]

I have booked a trip Australia - Europe, ticketed by Finnair in their R bucket. It's clear that the Finnair flights will be credited with 100% miles and 1.5 status points, but how is it on Qantas flights ex-Australia booked as AY5xx_ codeshare bookings?

For the purposes of AA miles earning its an AY flight (as you have posted in the AA forum I assume this is about AA miles)

In OneWorld Alliance with codeshare flights the marketing carrier determines earning (if an eligible flight)
In Star Alliance with codeshare flights the operating carrier determines earning (if an eligible flight)
AY is the marketing carrier in your case

Make sure that you keep your e ticket number and boarding pass for the QF metal booked with AY code share, both times I had to contact AA and get the miles credited, they did not credit automatically.

Prudent advice, AY tickets on QF metal rarely credit automatically.

I am 100% failure for automatic credit of AY codeshare on QF metal crediting to AAdvantage. And even after submitting on-line with full supporting docs, still 100% failure. Each time I had to call and explain and they have been manually credited.

Thanks all, both for the original reply and the point re: automatic crediting! I'll keep my eye out for the points post-flight.
