FQTV instead of *G on OS boarding pass
It might be a stupid question but I couldn’t find it with a quick search.
The field status on my OS boarding pass shows FQTV instead of *G as I’m used to from my LX and LH tickets. Does this mean my status hasn’t transferred to the OS IT system and I will need to keep my card handy to show for luggage allowance, lounge access etc. or am I looking at the wrong field?

Sometimes the DCS cannot access the *A database to determine status, 'FQTV' basically means the FFP number was registered. Yes, you may have to pull out your *G card to gain access to the lounge etc if they don't see your status in the system at that point.

if the flight is ex-VIE the OP will need the card to get into the lounge anyway.

If your ticket was booked when you were still FTL, then your bp might also only show FTL in some cases.

No, LH is moving to Altea as DCS so there are some breaks where some segments are on Altea and some on Pictures or a different DCS.

Having one's *G card handy in case of questions is always a good idea. If the *G card is handy, they should be no problems, though I did not so long ago have a real piece of work at the security line at JFK T7 who was unimpressed with anything except for status printed on the boarding pass and didn't want to let me use the priority line.

sometimes it beeps out even with appropriate status on BP
