What is your history/balance with EK and QF freq flyer programs? One trip is not a good basis to select or add to a ffp. Beware of orphan ff miles/points/avios they may expire before get enough to use.

If you had your QF ffn in the reservation , QR (and VA) may reject the claim as "credited to another ffp". Even if the earning was zero. May need to get QF to "uncredit" these fights before another ffp will consider. Will not be easy Usually when looking on line, before the flight, at QF...

Yes. As in this thread with political comments https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/airfares-to-us-to-drop.117416/ Both need a merge and/or prune. 1744785030 1744785033

I have NZ$17 from cancelled CV19 flight (Mar 2020) and partial use of credit for other Air NZ flights. Would have preferred a full cash refund, but was refused. Have until 31 Dec 2026 to use. Or give away if I can. Expect QF will have a similar wind fall from credits that people forget about...

Earn to burn is what matter. While credit cards often transfer at the same rate, earning ff from flying can be very different FF miles/avios/points are not 1:1 to earn or burn. More so with method to get awards:- zones or more distance based. For example with AAdvantage SYD-CBR needs the same...

Oman Air, while a QF partner, is not a OW airline. Due to join OW 30 June 2025. So will not be able to have Oman Air, in a QF Oneworld Classic Flight Reward, itinerary until then. Doubt QF would book Oman Air now, based on what should/may happen in ~3months time...

Air NZ fly ADL AKL QFi could fly ADL-SIN so pax could connect to QF1 SYD-SIN-LHR. But nothing in for Air Sydney (aka as Qantas) when they can get pax to SYD to get on QF1 and other flights

Off topic Continue to be amused that so many people/bloggers think HA is an independent airline. Now 100% owned by AS and being (slowly) integrated into AS systems. Will be 1 fpp, 1 reservation system and 1 airline operating certificate. HA just a brand of AS, like QantasLink is a brand of...

Duncansaffron Welcome to AFF and Australia Where is AU will you be? In AU for ever? Or a few months/years? Very unusual to have a status match in an Alliance. QF have an accelerated tier option. But cannot find a link. https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/earn-qantas-status/ Anyway you...
