Ok, thanks for this so far.

I received a query about maximising QF miles by using QF flights or code-shares using QF flight numbers, I explained that as long as the booked flight carried a QF, AA or BA flight number, then status bonuses would kick in (and based on the intended itinerary, they will start to kick in fairly quickly).

Will keep monitoring, will keep on passing feedback to my friend, I will anser any queries she has which I can answer, and will pass on anything I cn't answer to this forum
