An easy example is the sought after CX intra asia J trips.
Even MELSYD in J class / JQ*Class or AA "K-Up fares".
A small number of these can accrue WP (Emerald) status with QF whereas in CX / FinnAir / Other Programs, your actual mileage flown and the fare class booked might see you lucky to earn Ruby (or worst case nothing at all
)
Also;
- Recongition of other airlines OW status pax eg - baggage policy (recently raised)? throughout the alliance although this is more a OW than QF thing.
