How did you manage to not have your statused number in the booking originally?

While booking my session defaulted to my BA number but I was able to change to my Qantas number before finalizing the booking.

Maybe that was my mistake. I just blithely went into my BA account and made the booking. Forgot BA charges .... If anyone says I can go in and change it now (and shows me), I'd be happy.

Yeah, mine was revenue. Since I don't have any Avios I can not do a dummy process.

Looking at FlyerTalk BA forum, you may be able to sort this out with Webchat. The 'dominoes' of the various online Amadeus Airline portals that had enabled such change appear to have fallen one by one.


Note that if successful, the suggestion is to NOT subsequently open let alone modify the booking while logged into your BA account or the BA app because BA’s system may overwrite your other program number and put your BA number back in.

Many thanks! I think the follow-on from that was to go into BA as a guest and find flight using PNR and add QFF number there.

That said, if I don't mind what seat I get, I guess I can change the FF number to Qantas at the BA lounge, T3, in order to have Plat and be able to have better lounge access (and guest) for the rest of the crawl? Business ticket will get me priority check in and Fast Track security, if it exosts.
 
Worked a charm, thanks @serfty . I chat-botted, it couldn't handle it, put me to human. I gave PNRs, they exchanged the BA number to QFF. I then went to BA, not logged in, found booking and it allowed me to select seats. 2C

For two bookings actually - I have one from Las Palmas to LGW coming up in a couple of weeks, that I had forgotten I also couldn't select my seat. Now 1C.
 
In the past I have been able to use the finnair site to change the FFN on an AA redemption on BA but not sure if that still works

One benefit of having your QF number is to be able to see the flights on your QF App
