BA, however, does have an equivalent cabin - and has an extensive bilateral agreement with Qantas which goes much further than the general oneworld requirements etc. oneworld4u

Thank you for your reply oneworld4U. As you mention AY seems to treat PE as regular economy, when flying in BA's WT+ you get 100% of miles, not 110% as when crediting to BAEC or AAdvantage. It just makes me very surprised that AY gives no points when flying QF's PE but 100% when flying BA's WT+.

Anyway, I've now joined BAEC and will credit all my OW premium class travel to BAEC. With AMEX Platinum I can transfer Membership Rewards points to BAEC so I'll be booking at least WT+ in the future and upgrade to Club as often as I can
