So the answer is Yes, but
only on Dubai and Australian flights.
Thus a QC member flying
SYD-DXB-LHR-DXB-SYD would get access in Sydney, but not Dubai (which seems incongruous) on the way out, and London and Dubai on the way back.
SYD-DXB-FRA-DXB-SYD would get access in
Sydney, but not Dubai on the way out, and
Dubai but not Frankfurt on the way back.
Interestingly the PDF wording is diffeerent ot BDFs link. ...
Dear Qantas,
If the above is an accurate representation of the situation (and heaven knows you've made it confusing), THIS SUCKS. I am QC and QFF Silver, but with each passing year I wonder why.
For the first time in 5 years I'm considering flying to Europe with QF/EK rather than one of your (similarly-priced/more-convenient-routing) competitors because of this partnership.
Part of my motivation was lounge access, but you're screwing with that.
The other motivation was SC but in the quotes I've got, the flights with QF numbers are
way more expensive the same flights with EK numbers.
If your motivation was to get us lowly Silvers to stay away from QF, well done!
