Proposed itinerary
21 June: MEL-SYD-HKG (QF414, QF 127)
1 July: HKG-PEK (KA908)
21 Dec: PEK-HKG-SYD-MEL (CX391, QF128, QF423)

I care more about SC earn than points. Using the 'view source' trick, I get the following on my proposed booking:

var mileageRequest = this.earnPointsConnectorUrl; mileageRequest += "&REQUEST_ID="+this.earnPointsRequest_Id; mileageRequest += "&SECTORS=MEL/SYD-SYD/HKG,HKG/BJS,BJS/HKG-HKG/SYD-SYD/MEL"; mileageRequest += "&SEGMENT_ID=1-2,3,4-5-6"; mileageRequest += "&FLIGHT_NUMBERS=414-127,908,391-128-423"; mileageRequest += "&AIRLINE_CODES=QF-QF,KA,CX-QF-QF"; mileageRequest += "&OPERATING_CODES=*-*,*,*-*-*"; mileageRequest += "&NB_STOPS=0-0,0,0-0-0"; mileageRequest += "&CLASSES=O-O,O,O-O-O"; mileageRequest += "&FQTV_NUMBER_LIST=*"; mileageRequest += "&DATES=210620120800/210620120925-210620121040/210620121800,010720121200/010720121515,211220121330/211220121710-211220121950/221220120815-221220121000/221220121135"; return mileageRequest;

I know that O Class is Discount Economy on QF for both domestic and international.

However, I cannot see O Class listed on the earning table on the QF website for CX or KA. Can someone tell me whether the HKG-PEK-HKG segments on KA/CX will earn SCs or points?
 
The only discount Y earn with CX that earns points is BHKLMV, so I suspect its no for the CX/KA flights.

I thought that might be the case, markis. But searching for the same flights on the CX website puts me into Y - I have never got an O class option through CX direct. In any case I can't justify paying an extra $700 for a mere 40SC.
 
If the KA flights are in J, then does that change the SC earn?
Are you referring to the above example or asking a general question?

I, D and J on KA earn exactly the same SCs as I, D and J on CX.
