I’ve got a ticket JFK-SFO/LAX-JFK in C. Both flights are operated by new A321s. Flights are coded BA, but operated by AA. How do you think if my flights qualify for the promo?
Oneworld/AA credits by the marketing carrier and thus it won’t qualify.
Can I earn BA miles for this promo?
Nope.This is only for AAdvantage members
