To date, we've gotten status bonuses with QF, QF majority owned airlines using QFF and other airlines QF has some sort of FF deal with (BA and AA).
With the BA/QF JSA ending before the QF/EK JSA starts, this presents some questions.
What happens with the QF lounge in T3 at LHR? Still using the BA lounge there? Will BA still use the QF lounge in SIN?
QF and BA share check in at LHR and SIN. Will this still be the case?
With 6 fewer flights in SIN, will QF check in still have the same hours?
With the AU-EU JSA shifting from BA to EK, will the status bonus also shift?
