Finding Code-shared flights
I booked a ticket (through Airline1) where the last leg is a code share flight. The ticket has an Airline1 flight number for this leg and mentions "Operated by Airline2". I want to know the Airline2 flight number for this leg.
From the Airline2 service schedule I can find a flight with the same arrival / departure times. Conversely, if I want to book this leg, how can I find out which airline(s) has(ve) code share seats on the flight operated by Airline2?

What is airline code share?
Code sharing is a marketing arrangement in which an airline places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline, and sells tickets for that flight. Airlines throughout the world continue to form code-share arrangements to strengthen or expand their market presence and competitive ability.Can you look up someone elses flight?
No. Only way somebody else can check your reservation is if that person knew your name, flight number and the reservation code. Even then, they would not know if you boarded the flight. No airline will give out the passenger list of a given flight.What is codeshare flight example?
Code sharing works as follows, using United and Delta as examples: Say United Airlines offers a flight with its own flight number and sells tickets for it. However, the actual trip is operated by Delta Air Lines. The two airlines must have a commercial agreement to do this.Why do airlines code share?
Airlines have codeshare agreements because they want to be able to fly their customers to more destinations without having to buy more planes, hire more flight attendants, and pay more in airport fees. So, airlines partake in partnerships to facilitate this agreement.Airlines - Codeshare Agreement
