Therefore, I plan on informing the check-in desk on arrival for the particular QF flights that I would like to change the FFP associated with that flight to my QF number. The problem arises where I have SIN-SYD-MEL with the first leg on BA and then the connecting flight on QF. Is my only option asking the check in desk in SIN to remove my BA number from the booking completely and then claiming retrospectively?
How likely is this to succeed as I have asked for my FFP number to be removed on a previous occasion at check in and my BA account was still credited. Or is it possible to credit different FFPs to my itinirary at this stage and I've just not figured out how to do it?
In all likelihood, your plan will fail. I think the only way to successfully credit several parts of the itinerary to different ffps is to remove all ffp numbers now (accept to lose assigned seats), travel without any ffp associated with the booking and then send two separate retro credits with detailed instruction that you ONLY wand credit for a and b because you wish to claim c and d on another programme.
