(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP? OWE soft landing OWS, burning my stash of Avios (600k down to 300k). Trying to maintain at least OWS with both redemption travel and biz returns. Have KF Gold for Asian/regional travel but can divert some spend.

Hi all, am OWS, with infrequent J travel Asia to EU. I am currently burning through my BA points to divorce myself from the programme, and have a redemption return flight with Oman Air MNL-LHR-MNL. Is Qantas a viable option to credit for status? Any other airlines also credit TPs for redemptions? Thanks.
For QF status need 4 eligible QF or Jetstar flights. With Jetstar Asia now closed makes it a lot harder for those living in Asia.
Flying business class status does not add alot. But more business fares are unbundled. No lounge access, seat selection, etc.
Consider IB (movable avios ff currency) Avios used by BA IB AY QR IE
