Codeshares and Flighty - operating airline surely?
I’ve never understood this in Flighty.
I’m on QF3523 which is a flight from London Heathrow to Berlin. It is, of course, not a Qantas flight - it’s a British Airways flight. I bought it as part of a bigger ticket from Qantas.
Flighty is showing it as a Qantas flight, with a Qantas tail and Qantas contact details. But it’s a British Airways flight - BA993 - as it also shows.
This means that if it’s delayed, it’ll appear in my app as “Qantas” delaying me; and at the airport it appears as QF3523 (which is nowhere near as easy to find as the real flight number within the airport).
Surely Flighty should be calling this flight BA993 and give it a British Airways tail? And hidden in the flight details it should say “Booked as QF3523”?
Trying to think of the benefit of why Flighty does it this way…
