I am curious to know if my Qantas FF Points will get me SIN/AMS in First or Business Class with a day or two stop over in Dubai with EK Aircraft.
Will I earn FF points ?
I usually go to Singapore with QF on my way to Europe with a stop over for a few days (I love Singapore, especially Marina Bay Sands).
If QF SYD/SIN terminates in SIN, I would buy a SYD/SIN ECY rtn and pay full fare to get points and credits, then a separate SIN/AMS rtn using FF Points in F or B Class.
I plan my trip for 2013, around Sept.
I have never flown EK before, but others tell me it is a vast improvement to QF.
I guess it depends on the crew,aircraft and day plus the luck of the draw eh?
Sadly it looks to be the way of the future if speculation is correct.
As a footnote, I flew OOL/SIN with Scoot in July and found it amazingly cheap, a new aircraft ,clean, crew friendly and polite,excellent service, leg room & food better than Jetstar, on time and can recommend it.
