Oh well, too bad.

ASX announcment:

"The Emirates and Qantas frequent flyer programs will be aligned, giving customers expanded opportunities to earn and redeem points. Emirates and Qantas will provide reciprocal access to tier status benefits including end-to-end customer recognition, lounge access, priority check-in and boarding and other exclusive services."

Alan Joyce speech:

"In our discussions Tim and I came up with a guiding principle for this partnership: Treat each other's customers as your own. Our two airlines will, of course, retain their distinct style and identity, but we will match key customer benefits. Where there is a difference in customer service, we've agreed to make the higher benefit our standard."

From qantas.com under platinum benefits:

"Relax or catch up on work in any Qantas Club, International First or Domestic Business Lounge when travelling on Qantas, Jetstar Airlines or oneworld alliance airline flight. Plus access associated lounges when flying Qantas or access oneworld airline lounges around the world when flying on a oneworld alliance airline"

I look forward to crashing the Dubai F lounge and finally getting out of that brothel they call the J lounge.
