Made any travel mistakes lately?

But don't forget you never buy anything specific.
You don't ever buy a specific seat, on a specific flight, operated by a specific aircraft type, to a specific destination, on a specific date, at a specific time.
All you ever buy is "a bundle of rights".
The contents of the bundle are subject to enhancement.

Sure there is that.

But what QF postulates and what legislative or judicial authority determines is often wildly divergent. If you pay more for the QF codeshare (v CI fare direct) because it comes with a bigger bundle of rights then afterwards QF says you can have a smaller bundle they will lose.

Even basic PP lounge access is what USD25-65, so QF F lounge is worth more. Even more when guesting privileges are considered. QF either make it right for @XavierP or they lose in tribunals and public opinion once again.

Now, if the QF codeshare tix were purchased after the change to access rules then yes, probably a travel mistake. Would still be nice for QF to offer some ‘consideration’ as a gesture of good will, but we know that in Mascot-land that is only a last resort.

If your guest is ticketed on a QF flight number operated by a oneworld airline, are they booked on a "oneworld marketed and operated flight" or not?

Yes they are. That one is pretty simple to interpret - just expand it out - it requires booked on a flight marketed by a oneworld member and operarted by a oneworld member - so a oneworld sold/ticketed/flight number on metal operated by a oneworld member.

That criteria is actually the OneWorld lounge access policy, not QF specific.
