Are Status Credits earned on a VA booking but operated by Etihad

[kaz]

Hi

Are status credits earned on a VA booking with VA flight numbers but the aircraft is operated by Etihad Airways.

The fare classes being flown are 'V' and 'T'

Not sure if I have to look under the Virgin Aust or the Etihad status credit earn fare classes when looking on the Velocity website, especially when the booking is with VA but the aircraft operated by Etihad, so any info would be appreciated.

As you will have a VA flight number you will earn at the VA rate.

With VA, the marketing carrier is the one that determines the points and SCs earned (though of course the flight must have an eligible combination of operating/marketing carrier - not a problem in kaz's case, but worth pointing out..)

kaz, as V and T both fall in to the 'Saver - Economy' bucket, you'll earn 0.5 points per mile flown and as a VA Platinum, 1 bonus point per mile flown (for a total of 1.5 points per mile flown). For Status Credits, you'll earn as Discount Economy per the following table:
