The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

The EK SYD lounge is not that bad.

Gday All
Newbie here. A big thanks in advance for any help!
Couple of questions here if anyone can help me out.
Ive just recently hit Platinum with Emirates, and have Qantas Gold as well.
Shortly i will be flying Syd to LAX on a points purchased Y flight on QF. I notice that there is no emirates codeshare on the SYD to LAX. Since I wont get any points or SC. Am I best to use my Emirates FF # as opposed to my qantas FF#?
Will i be able to use the F lounge at either end? Or does it have to be a code share flight for any emirates benefits?
Thanks

Pretty sure trans pacific flights on QF are outside the QF/EK partnership, so EK status wont work at all on either end (ie no QF F un SYD nor LAX, probably not even EK SYD). So it’s QF J at SYD and at LAX either QF J or AA Flagship.

BTW, award flights usually book with the operating airline code (there are some exceptions) but not common.

That’s right; they’re not part of the Master Coordination Agreement between QF & EK. Effectively treated like on another airline with these flights

Welcome to AFF @Blue@

As others have indicated, this will be a straightforward Qantas (only) flight, with your QFF number in the booking. You will get Qantas Gold benefits, so no F lounge. I don't know what other benefits EK Plat might give you on that itinerary.
