peer agreement (net): +1This is a procedure within the airline industry whereby one airline operates a service using its own Explanation: Code share This is a procedure within the airline industry whereby one airline operates a service using its own flight number, e.g. XX123 and one or more other airlines, in agreement with airline XX, apply their own "code share" flight number to this operation. By using this possibility, carriers who do not operate their own aircraft on a given route may gain exposure in the market through display of their flight numbers. In GDSs, Global Distribution Systems, such as Amadeus, Apollo, Worldspan, etc, this results in the same flight details, except for the flight number, being displayed on computer screens excessively forcing other airlines flights to be displayed on following pages where they may be missed by passengers searching for required flights. Criticism has been levelled against code sharing by consumer organisations and national departments of trade since it is claimed it is confusing and not transparent to passengers but without any success in changing the situation so far. http://www.fact-index.com/c/co/code_share.html |

peer agreement (net): +3code-share Explanation: CODE SHARE MEANS THAT THE FLIGHT IS OPERATED BY A DIFFERENT AIRLINE FROM THE ONE SELLING SEATS ON THE FLIGHT http://amadeus.bts-vpt.com/dossiers/TOURISMATIQUES FICHIERS/... "Code Share" means that two or more carriers are selling tickets for the same flight and you don’t know which carrier is actually operating the flight. http://www.flylowbudgets.com/FLCtinfo1103.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2004-08-15 05:45:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A code share means it is as if you are flying the airline whose code it is (in this case Delta 8253) even though you are actually on someone else\'s flight (in this case Air France 039). http://mullings.com/travelogue07-04-03.htm “Code Sharing” means the operation by one Carrier of flights for which seats are offered by another Carrier using its own Airline Designator Code alone or jointly with the operating Carrier’s Airline Designator Code. https://www.scandinavian.net/EC/Appl/Home/FrontDoor/0,3479,S... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2004-08-15 05:47:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Code-share Recently many of the major airlines have “joined forces” or created alliances to improve service and increase profits. Code-sharing means any two or more airlines (usually airlines who belong to an alliance) can sell tickets for the same flight. At the gate you may notice the same flight is listed with two different airline names on the board. Your ticket from New York to Paris may say Delta. The guy sitting next to you on the plane may be holding an Air France ticket. The weird thing is that prices may differ for the exact same flight and class of service. Also some people fly certain carriers according to their safety records or frequent flyer programs. With code-shares, usually one partner owns the plane and the other “operates” the flight. This becomes an important issue if you run into any problems. One airline can pass responsibility back and forth. Be aware and ask questions. http://www.vacationkids.com/travelschool/airdefschool.html |
