What I wanted to know, if I book flights via finnair.com - the options are
MEL-FRA
Melbourne - Singapore (via Qantas)
Singapore - Helsinki (via Finnair)
Helsinki - Frankfurt (via Finnair)

FRA-MEL
Frankfurt - Helsinki (via Finnair)
Helsinki - Hong Kong (via Finnair)
Hong Kong - Melbourne (via Qantas)

Assuming Qantas and Finnair point accrual are different (I think they are), since I booked the ticket via Finnair, is it Finnair points basis will I get or will it be Qantas?

Also, I saw that Finnair also offers flights via Thai Airways (which is not exactly OneWorld), if I take this flight by booking it via FinnAir - will I still accrue CX Marco Polo Status Points?

Thanks
