How did you position to CAI? Did you use an award or revenue ticket? I have contemplated your very scenario, but positioning to CAI seems to be the wild card!

I actually was already in ICN and used 40k AA miles for EY F ICN-AUH-CAI in May. I then purchased a $1800 CAI-LHR-SEA-HNL BA J fare (there's a long thread about this fare and it's still readily available). I returned on this ticket via LAX LHR to CAI to fly this QF/EK to ZQN and back.
BTW the BA outage canceled my CAI-LHR flight. BA ended up paying for my hotel in CAI for 2 more nights as well as sending me a check for 600 Euros compensation.

Interestingly, the SYD-ZQN-SYD QF flights have not posted and say "Partner Pending" on my AS mileage activity. It's stated this for about 3 weeks and appeared a free days after I requested the miles on AS website (which did not require, or give me the option to, upload boarding passes.
Today I spoke with Customer Care and they asked me to email the boarding passes. It's ironic that the flight segments that I would think would credit first (QF on QF) didn't.

Bumping this old thread to see if anyone has had recent experience with QF/EK codeshares. Contemplating a mileage run out of CAI that includes a QF ticketed, EK operated flight. It seems 'hope for the best' is standard with these codeshares, but wanted to get as many data points as possible.

EK is the only AS partner where AS's terms state flights must be ticketed by EK to earn miles. Whether they'll fudge that rule as they do with partner/partner codeshares, I can't say with any certainty, but experiences upthread make it sound like they might.

I just tried to pull it up on QF site and its showing cancelled now. PL still shows active $87 round trip. I was going to be in Australia anyways and booked as a same day turn. It was a dumb booking for me anyways so i guess I wont be going even if I wanted to.
