Same issue flying out of India on a Qantas flight number but aircraft operated by Jet Airways. No biz class check-in, no extra luggage allowance, no lounge access!
It's ok if you know the rules and are prepared, but the first time you get 'caught' it can lave you feeling a bit put out. (I had just assumed that as QF and 9W were operating code-shares end-to-end from india to australia flights that all the benefits would apply.)
In fact I don' know why they don't. You'd think it would be to Jet's advantage to allow lounge access in India for QF members and v.v. in Australia for Jet's members.
