Earning on Alitalia EY Operated flight

[LuisT]

Hi All,

I assume the answer is no, but can someone confirm that AZ flights operated on EY won't earn anything through Velocity?

I managed to get on the cheap FLR-SYD-DUS deal and trying to work out where to credit my flights...

Thanks

LT

Your assumption is correct

My experience flying AZ metal on EY codeshare FCO-AUH last month was that I DID earn velocity points and status credits notwithstanding that my reading of the rules suggested otherwise...

Thanks.

Would be interested to hear if anyone else has similar experience?

I guess I could just not enter a ff number and try and claim manually later...

Same experience here.

The AZ boarding pass only said VA and didn't even print my #. But it worked!! Fully expecting a fail. Check in agents didn't know VA was a partner. Yours is AZ code but EY metal. I reckon it will work.

It would be interesting to try, but with AZ marketing the flight I think it is less likely to credit than the EY marketed flight.

I booked an EY operated KLM codeshare and was not able to credit it to Velocity.

Would that be because it was KLM operated?

Both EY and AZ are partners with VA and are listed with fare classes as being able to earn on the VA tables.

I sometimes wonder if its safer to do a retro claim and not have your FF# in the booking, or I guess call the preferred FFP before you fly to confirm.

As I said it was an EY operated KL codeshare. It is true that the ticketing carrier (KLM) is not a VA partner though.

Sorry half asleep. I find once there are 3 different airline codes in the mix my head starts to spin. Sometimes that 3rd airline is all it takes to throw out your FFP earning, lounge access etc.

I assume the flight showed in your account with the AZ flight number and not the EY one ?

Yes that's correct

Seems that it works similarly to oneworld. I.e as long as operator and ticketer are both partners
As an aside its interesting that QF flight numbers on EK metal can credit to BA

And credit to AA but the QF # is the key.
