which includes, Asia, Middle East, Europe (e.g. syd lhr as one flight number), and quite relevant in this context.
AA are the outlier, which makes sense given the depth of alignment. and probably the only airline (along with AY) in OW that QF play nicely with.
it is quite a significant chunk when trying to maximise SCs from EU.
QF Discount J SIN-LHR earns 160 SCs
BA J SIN-LHR earns 120 SCs
Excluding MH, Asia to/from Europe, ME and the Americas, along with Intra Asia is usually significantly more than 50% earn on other OW partners including AY. The later can be handy because the Euro-HEL tag adds another ~40 to 100 SCs.
