(I could fly to BNE and take the train, at least for the Gold Coast, but that seems much more difficult.)
E.g., hkg-nrt-dfw-san-lax-mel-ool-syd-akl-syd-hkg shows at 25,987 per Great Circle Mapper.
No. You can't use the JQ code until such a time as JQ joins oneworld (either as a full member or as an affiliate member of QF).
Also, if you're looking at a DCIRCxx on a QF coded JQ flight, you'd be booked into L. D is not bookable under the QF code on JQ operated flights (even when said flight has a business class cabin).
(eg, KIX-OOL, QF248 (JQ20) -
JQ code: J D Y B V T S R Q P O N M E L K A H I W
QF code: Y B H K M L V S N Q O X E)
Good to know, thanks. So, to visit Gold Coast or Noosa in conjunction with a DCIRCxx, best is to fly to SYD, BNE, or MEL, and use separately-purchased JQ flights, or the train from BNE?
