With most (if not all?) mileage programs, you need to book through the website (or call centre) of the program you are booking from, not the airline you are travelling on.. I would expect to use Skyward miles on Qantas, you would need to book via Skywards. There is no mechanism for booking awards on QF website using anything other than QFF points.

It is advertised on the Skywards site, so you are right it must be able to be booked through that site, but how?

Yes, I think you are correct. Im just wondering how they will sort out combining these 2 ff programs, as Skywards do not offer one-way saver rewards but qantas do offer one-way rewards for half the miles of a return reward.

I will be sampling the codeshare next weekend - on an EK ticket but QF SYD-DXB and EK DXB-LON. Looking forward to a close comparison of both F products. (I was happy with QF F last year on the A 380 and thoroughly enjoyed my EK trip LHR-SYD 10 days ago
