Re: Catweazle, AS Mileage Plan may still take your points, and close your account, if there is no activity in 2 years, and nothing in 3.
The fares are set by QF though, and the earn rate for AS as a partner, flying QFd and putting in your AS MP FF number might be small.
Not sure if its worth it.
Not so bad if you live in the US/Alaska, so you can "burn" the points you have earnt, but you haven't said how often you plan to use points for AS awards, and if there is a min earn of points before you can use them, QFF has a min points bal of 5k before it can be used.
Its not like as if QF charges $99 for a MEL - SYD 6 months in advance booked flight, and $94.95 if a person is an AS FF member and puts in their AS FF #.
Mmm, EK lounge has salmon, which is one of their staples, not sure but most likely its imported into Aust, but still, the EK MEL/SYD lounges are miles above their partner QF's lounges.
Been mentioned that QF has had salmon on offer in the past, but the times I flew Au - NZ, never saw salmon on offer to eat in a QF lounge.
