Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.

Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

The final batch of airline partners is now available on the Earning Points Calculator:

MU, IB, LY, AB, HG, UL, TL, NF, PX, 9W, AZ, N9, RJ, EI, S7, SA

While no functionality will change, additional city pairs have been added corresponding to the partner routes.

Not all of the AB routes have been loaded. eg NUE-SPU.

I guess at least it shows me which airline codeshare to maximise earnings.
 
And I resume our partner OW bookings made pre-QF earning change announcement still earn at the 'old' rates ? e.g SIN to HEL used to be 140 x SCs but now 80 x SCs.

Anyone had any experience with QF honouring the SCs / points ?

I have yet to fly a pre-change booking but will be counting on the SCs for that QF LLG target.

I have had no issues with QF honouring the old SC/points, but in all cases with partner flights (CX/BA/AA), I had to email QFF and request the adjustment.
QF flights seem to adjust themselves within a few days.
 
BNE - AKL on QF doesn't allow the selection of First for the QF codeshare on EK. Selecting EK results in zero SCs.

School boy error in the calculator!!

The functionality is vastly better than we've ever had. I wasn't commenting in my or anyone else's reduced earnings.

There are many flights on CX/BA/AA where you get more value for your points sending it to the AA program instead of to QFF. Even as a QF Plat you would get more out of sending it to AA as a non-status member.

It simply doesn't make sense to credit oneworld flights to QF unless you want QF status to kick in or you have no means to shift other points earning opportunities to another program.

Domestic travel is another story, but if you're after as many points as possible then VA earning is far superior to QF if you're on anything except super-super discounted sale fares or first class.

In a nut shell you've nailed my issues, I want to get to LTG to start with.

Beyond that most of my travel is domestic, I only book sales and I quite often book sales on routes VA doesn't fly :p

Seems like a simple choice from there ;)
