I understand from some other discussion here that within One World, miles and points and all that are by the marketing carrier, not the operating carrier. But is that the case in a cross-alliance flight? If flying on a MH-marketed but SQ-operated flight, could I have the miles (and QPoints, if any, I'm not sure if there would be) credited to my QR frequent flier account?
I'm also wondering about lounge access. If it's MH-marketed but SQ-operated, do I get OW lounges (I am emerald, specifically, QR platinum) or Star Alliance lounges (I am United gold, despite the fact that I haven't flown on them for over seven years)? There might be an issue of OW lounges being in the wrong terminal.
I'm also not sure about MH-marketed flights operated by their subsidiary Firefly, I'm thinking those will probably earn zero miles/points/whatever in the QR programme? For lounge access on Firefly, maybe it would be better to ask in the MH forum.
The devil is in the details, and they need to be studied. It depends on the agreement between QR and MH whether the codeshare needs to be OW operated to be eligible for accrual or not. So read the text for MH accrual and it is maybe clear...
Lounge access on Firefly, yeah that is probably an MH forum question.
ETA:
It is actually pretty clear
