Hoping some of the AFF brains trust might be able to help me.
I am trying to book either a paid J or F ticket from Syd to Cancun with QF. When booking on Qantas it is routing me SYD-LAX-Dallas-Cancun flying QF11 on the Sydney-LAX leg which is fine with me. However it is saying I will only earn status credits and points on the SYD-LAX leg not the other two legs? However if I fly AA metal on the SYD-LAX route I earn status credits on all the flights. I would prefer to fly QF metal as I prefer their product to AA.
Furthermore if i try to break the trip up and book a separate ticket LAX-Cancun the QF website tells me I can only book this route with Qantas points.
Any help would be great as I would like to maximise my status and points earn.
