Philippine Airlines Now Bookable With Qantas Points

Yes, I’m talking more about their long haul product to the US in particular which are the 777’s and have a poor product IMO

Not so for MNL-JFK that's the A359.

A350-1000?

I’m clearly a bit slow on the uptake here but PR flights book-able with QF points likely means QF (and future oneworld) flights bookable with PR points/miles.

Hmm, must go back and see whether I even bothered to put my Mabuhay number against my PR J ticket from Dec/Jan. I probably never bothered as any PR miles earned have always just been orphaned there in the past.

Now official that Philippine airlines joining One World, unfortunately not a good option too and from the UK yet.

It does, and the Philippine Airlines announcement was a bit clearer.

Under the agreement, Mabuhay Miles and Qantas Frequent Flyer members can now redeem their points across both airlines’ networks, providing greater flexibility and more rewarding travel experiences. This development reinforces PAL’s commitment to delivering more value to its loyalty members while broadening partner network access.

Mabuhay Miles members can now use their miles to book flights across Qantas’ international and domestic network, including destinations across Australia and beyond. This includes key leisure and regional destinations such as Adelaide, Hobart, Byron Bay, and Cairns—offering more options for travelers seeking to explore Australia beyond major gateways.

Would you rather use points for BNE-MNL in

1. QF's domestically configured 321XLR, or
2. PR's lie-flat 321?

I also wonder how many OW Emeralds there are in PR's program, and the impact (if any) on SIN/LAX/MEL/SYD F lounges...

Apparently zero for now. They don’t have a WP equivalent.
