Note: Usually fly B or T class on EK which does not acquire miles on KE. QF and JL both gives 50%. Occasional personal trips on MH, CX, AA.
From my understanding JL has hefty fuel charge for award booking. Is the situation with QF similar? Any advise is appreciated.
QF has very high award cash surcharges and high points needed (compared to AA). But you earn QF points on EK flight numbers, but not Status Credits

Also look at Alaska. EK, CX, QF are a AS partner's, but JL is not
