Flying Jetstar on QF codeshare

[aikman]

For some reason, I remember reading somewhere that points and SCs are not given when flying Jetstar on a QF flight number. Is there any truth to this or am I just imagining it? Specifically on SIN-KUL.

Kind of true.

If earning to Qantas Frequent Flyer then you'll earn points at the standard rate as if the flight was operated by Qantas.

If earning to a oneworld partner then you won't earn any points (only exception is BA where other requirements apply).

A few other things to point out:

• Baggage is the standard Qantas allowance (30kg/40kg/50kg - Economy/Business/First) however oneworld or Qantas additional baggage doesn't apply.
• No oneworld benefits apply.
• No Qantas Frequent Flyer benefits apply except for Lounge access (but note that the SIN lounge doesn't open until the afternoon).
• You should have a seperate JQ booking reference (can be obtained from the QF site) - seat selection is done through Jetstar (@ jetstar.com) and you may also be able to add a free ~$10 voucher for food onboard via the add ons my booking page (have a look at the Jetstar website for this).
