Skywards Miles on QF Booking on EK Flights
I just want to clarify my understanding of earning skyward miles with Qantas.
If I book flights through the Qantas website for LGW-DXB-SYD and back SYD-DXB-LRH (all in April) and the flights are all Emirates operated (i.e. all QF8xxx flight numbers), my understanding is that I can earn skyward miles, but not tier points. Is that right?
Also, any idea what would happen if I make this booking and the regulatory approval falls through?
