I think i know the answer but wanted to confirm to make sure since some of the other posts i read were from 2013. IM putting this here as its about QFF status and EK flights. Feel free to move if needed. Apologies if this is covered in other threads i couldnt find anything recent
Im currently a QC NB and planning to be a QC PS by end of november if i can get my act together and book some status runs (hoping to be targeted by a double SC offer i hear was floating around)
So in Dec im booked on some flights from HK to Dubai on EF metal with EK flight number.
So my understanding is that:
- since the flights are EK only and post 1 Oct i dont have access to HK lounges.
- Lounge access is cut after 1 october on EK only flights its not a case if you booked prior to you have access but its simply cut
- since i will be PS i do have access to those benefits so 12KG luggage, priority seating and checkin.
- I can still earn QF points on the EK flight only at an earn rate of 50%.
Something i am unsure about is
- QF PS status is it treated the same as EK PS status?
According to the EK site EK PS have lounge access in Dubai. http://www.emirates.com/au/english/skywards/about/membership-tiers/membership-benefits.aspx
According to QF website QP's have access to Dubai lounge until 1 Oct. http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/air...ness-lounge/global/en?loungeCategory=qcLounge
So would i have access at either HK or Dubai for Ek lounges? Doesnt sound like i have QF access.
- Do EK do seat pre-selection for QF PS's (or any status)? Their website talks about how Qantas charges for pre selection and talks more about domestic QF flights.
- Simiarly to QF website is it better to add my QFF number once i get the status to ensure the benefits (however minimal they are) are recognised.
Please let me know if im wrong or on the right track.
