Will I get American AAdvantage miles when flying a Qantas flight operated by Emirates?
I normally collect AAdvantage points with American Airlines. I'm considering booking a Qantas flight (LHR->DXB), but some of the flights, whilst having a Qantas flight number, are operated by Emirates. Will these still enable me to earn AAdvantage points (since Qantas is a Oneworld airline). Are there any non-obvious downsides to taking the Emirates flight?
Best Answer
Can confirm that AA will honor the One World miles. I flew on a Qantas booked ticket last week, used my AA FF# and the return flight was operated by Emirates and I got the same miles credit as I did on the inbound flight operated by Qantas. Yeah!
