    Hi folks

    Booking me & fiancée's honeymoon trip at the moment but have a query in regards when buying a ticket, it will say that it will be operated for another airline.

    For example:
    RSJkwck.png?1

    Anyone know what exactly this means when it says "British Airways operated by Japan Airlines/Aer Lingus"? Any info i've tried to find online on it is very vague.

    The only understanding I can think of is you have a British Airways ticket but you will check in with Japan Airlines & go to their gate, board Japan Airlines Plane etc? Am I wrong or correct?

    Any help appreciated, I didn't want to book anything until I understood exactly what it meant.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    That's exactly what it means. You're booking with BA, but it's a codeshare route so you'll be flying on JAL and EI.

    Yes, it's known as code shareing. BA will have bought a certain amount of seats with Japan Airlines and Aer Lingus and will sell them on. If you look at aertel pages 570-576 you will see that some flights will be code shared, eg; Out of Cork to Heathrow you will see two flights going at the same time, one a BA the other Aer Lingus but it's only one plane taking off. I hope this explains it for you.
