Where to credit OW F flights

I might have some long haul paid F flights coming up soon...
CX F LHR-HKG
BA F LHR-SFO return
EK F with QF flight number (code share on new joint venture) SIN-LHR

Can the OW experts advise where I should credit the flights to? I am a *A flyer most of the time.

My one world status:
BA - Gold
AAdvantage - No status
QF - No status

From my research
CX F 1.5 avios per mile
1.5 aadvantage per mile

BA F 2 avios per mile + TATL bonus
1.5 aadvantage per mile + TATL bonus

EK F with QF flight number (code share on new joint venture)
1.5 avios per mile. No further bonus from Apr 1
1.5 aadvantage per mile


Is there any category/cabin/status bonus I have missed?
Also any other special promotions on these routes?

Thanks in advance

Note that if you want AA platinum status for whatever reason you can sign up for the 'platinum challenge' - a small cash payment, then 10,000 "points" and you're there, and if you begin after 1 June (?) you're good for the remainder of the year and all the next, plus a month. And AA has been 'soft-landing' elites, which would give you gold for a year after that.

But U.S. Airways will have bought American Airlines and their people will be managing it in a few months, so the future is fuzzy. Faced with that thought I'd ask "are US Air frequent fliers a happy bunch?"

Are you close to GGL or any of the other additional benefits offered by BA? That is, if credited to BA, will the tier points earned help you achieve GGL, A CCR card, a joker, or a partner card. That might tip the balance for me.

I wouldn't have thought EK metal/QF code would earn on any program other than QF

you are correct that the last EK/QF flight won't credit to oneworld programs except QF.

As OP is already BA Gold, may I suggest he/she change LHR-HKG to BA to maximise the BA Tier Points and 100% bonus miles.. and isn't it x 3 for F class?

Pointless to do AA Platinum Challenge as he/she needs to do the 10K points flights first as a basic member and then get the bonus 100% miles after that when he/she can do that now as mentioned above.

QF flown by EK can only be earned by QF.

Not anywhere near I am afraid... In fact for this year, BA tier points is 0

I would have thought so too... But saw this on the aadvantage website
http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/earnMiles/travel/airlines/qantas.jsp
Miles are also earned on Qantas Airways codeshare flights*.

The fineprint only talks about excluding some jetstar flights from the codeshare mileage earning

Thanks for all your replies...

Some follow up qns

1.) Is anybody able to confirm if the QF codeshare on EK (with the new joint venture) will earn miles on any OW program other than QF? What about EK skywards?

2.) Based on my BA gold status and no status on AAdvantage, are the following earning ratios correct after factoring in all the status and cabin class bonuses

CX F
1.5 avios per mile
1.5 aadvantage per mile

BA F
2 avios per mile + TATL bonus
1.5 aadvantage per mile + TATL bonus

EK F with QF flight number (code share on new joint venture)
???

3) I have looked at the american plat challenge. It talks about 10k miles on American or american codeshare flights operated by other carriers. If I am able to change my BA F booking to an AA F codeshare flight operated by BA, can i finish the plat challenge?

4.) If I enroll in the plat challenge, will my earning ration still be the same as below after factoring in all cabin and status bonuses?
CX F
1.5 aadvantage per mile

BA F
1.5 aadvantage per mile + TATL bonus

EK F with QF flight number (code share on new joint venture)
???

5.) Is there an EXP challenge also that I can enroll for? It looks like all these flights will come to 40k EQPs if QF codeshare can also be credited.

On QF codeshares there is a lengthy thread on the AA forum:
