Both QF and LH use Amadeus system = they see each others' segments - call QF and/or LH and ask agent to insert your FF numbers. Agent should know the entry, just in case it is:
FFNUA-xxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is your UA MP number
FFNQF-yyyyyyy where yyyyyyy is your QF FF number
(no segment selection is necessary - Amadeus will assign FF number to correct segments, if there are more than one passenger in the reservation they need to name select i.e. add /P1 - to assign FF number to the first passenger).
TPJ - Great post!
In the past I always believed that numbers were either assigned on a global or per segment basis but am glad to hear that things have improved.
I realise that I'm about to steer this conversation in a slightly different direction, but as it is still QF related, hopefully the mods will allow me a little latitude.
I have an upcoming BA/SK booking which I want my QF and BD numbers asigned to the BA and SK segments. Is Amadeus smart enough to realise that I would prefer the SK segment to be assigned to BD (*A partner) rather than QF which is just a mileage partner of QF? The BA segments should obviously be assigned to QF.
