Swapping FF number on Qantas flights

[joon8887]

I am QFF bronze and One world emerald with other airline. For Qantas economy flight bookings, is there any benefit of adding one world emerald FF number and swap to QFF after? (e.g.. in the lounge?). Rather than just adding QFF number in it?

I thought you would get a same benefit if you book flights under QFF and show them your OW emerald card on your phone? (inc lounge access, luggage etc)

There *may* be some benefits like being further down the list if they need to bump someone due to overbooking. You might also get a better seat choice. In the highly unlikely event they needed to do an operational upgrade, you would he higher on the list than a QFFF bronze.

Your main benefit would be advance preferential seat selection I suspect.

I know there are potentially four FF fields that can be accessed by a travel agent, but unsure how this would display/work in practice if you did manage to get the FQTS/FQTV combo to work.

That's a shame, I did not realise this. But then, never needed to use it.
