Where my QF BP caused some confusion was in JFK. I was issued my BP for my BA JFK-LHR connection at LAX and it was also printed on QF F BP stock. I had to point out the BA flight number at least 4 times while in JFK.

Firstly the DF shop assistant tried to tell me that QF passengers could not purhcase there (QF108 is a domestic sector), but I was on BA non-stop to LHR. Secondly in the BA lounge I was told that pre-flight dining was not for QF passengers, only BA J/F passengers. Re-entering the BA lounge after a walk around the terminal I was told I had missed my flight (QF108 has departed for LAX - I was heading for LHR). And lastly when boarding the BA flight I was told I was at the wrong gate - this is not a QF flight!

I wish people would read the BP and not just assume a particular logo or colour means what they think it means!

But I have never had a problem with a QF boarding pass using the premuim security line at LAX.
