Do you earn TP on QF flights operated by Emirates
There are great fares to BKK & SIN on QF via DXB. The second leg is operated by Emirates. Do you get TP on the second flight? In other words a QF ticketed LHR-DXB-BKK in J, with DXB-BKK on EK metal but ticketed as QF flight, do you earn 140 or 280 TP?

Admittedly this question is asked frequently so is it worth creating a grand thread of QF/EK questions or something in a FAQ so it's easily searchable?

....or a guide on how to 'search this forum'. Admittedly the search function isn't great but by putting 'TP QF Emirates' into the search function, (three key words out of the OP's thread title) numerous previous threads are revealed.

I have always known that you could earn on QF to australia via DXB but.....
I have always wondered if there was any ex-EU routes/nice pricing where this is worth it?
Even for emirates J or F the pricing from London has never been worth it for me

Agree, thought something in the Dashboard/FAQ would be an option as where it's most new posters go first.

I've been looking at EK for a trip to Oz, possibly with a stop in SIN or maybe even Dubai (not a fan of the place myself but the wife's never been). For a family of three it works out around £8.5K compared with about £20K on pretty much every other airline including all OW.
I can't get it to price up at a decent amount on QF at all. The only reason I'd do this is to get TP as EK have slopey seats on most of the legs. Without TP/Avios I'd be just as well using Vietnam Airlines for half the £££ (which I'm still tempted to do anyway).
Are there any tricks I don't know about here? What's the best way to get a decent price on QF tickets?

2. Book EK flights but credit to QF Frequent Flyer, and gain/maintain OW status via QF. Full pro's and con's depend on your overall flying pattern.
3. Vietnam are actually very good - new dreamliners all the way to Oz. I got a J return for £1650 from LHR to MEL. Great crew, food terrific, short transfer time on the way out, day in SGN on the way back.
