I guess QF knows their market and when to provide more benefits, and when less. This codeshare game, where you never know what you are really getting, is pretty dismal from a pax standpoint.
It is bad. I mean, I know NOW wat the rules are, but clearly didn't, even as a long time plat, before i ebarked on the Qf code shares on 9W. I actually thought I'd be entitled to all the benefits.
As for the lounge access - I guess 9W and EY must have less status members entitled to lounge access of you'd think they'd net them off against each other (ie QF using jet lounges in India in exchange for jet using QF in Australia).
