Both memberships, a QF Plat speaks

Hi,

If you hold both BA and QF at the silver/gold level respectively then you get the following:

1. the ability to MFU for both, like as if QF ever had a business class seat available on MFU (actually, some of the time via HKG it can happen in the quiet times of the year)
2. access to the BA lounge at CDG which you do not get as a QF anything
3. waitlist priority on both airlines for the codeshare when you need to travel
4. better op-up chances on BA when using a BA card as those of us who fly BA all the time to the 4000+ status points a year level but live in Oz love sooo much when the BA just silvers are regarded as more of a FF on BA than those of us who use BA long haul almost every week. (ie QF Plats)
5. twice as many cards to flash around at JenBel's FT do in London and wow what a hell of a fight has broken out on the QF board in relation to OzFest #2!
6. the ability not to get as many lifetime QF status credits

Er, that's all folks
