Hi all,
I have a question requiring a little interpretation. The question of SC earn on AA flight numbers but AS metal has often arisen, but rarely the question of an AS flight number but AA metal. It appears, however, that doing exactly that is a great value way to get on the AA AFS transcons in First Class.
So the question is twofold:
1) If the AS website presents the following as a flight option:
<AA Logo> American 3 (Alaska Airlines 1747)
Operated by American Airlines
does it appear I'm booking AA3 or AS1747?
2) If it's AA3, the second question is moot. If not, and travel is indeed on AS1747 but on AA metal, is this eligible for SC earn?
Referencing QF's site - 'You can earn Status credits when flying on eligible Qantas, oneworld Alliance airlines'. I would have thought even if I'm travelling on AS, I am nonetheless flying on AA given it's their metal.
Anyway folks, interesting question - would be keen to hear your thoughts.
Cheers.
