Is there a list of flights which hold a QF code?
Hi all
Is there a definitive list of flights which hold the QF code? Trying to book some flights to Thailand on EK metal with a QF code if possible.
Thanks

From my experience, it's almost impossible (or extremely impractical) to book a QF marketed EK flight unless flying Australia to Dubai or beyond. The opposite direction is only able to be booked as an inbound flight. This became the case not long after QF stopped flying to Dubai. There may be some obscure way of making it work but the price will be outrageous.
I'm assuming your journey doesn't start in Australia as DXB would be a long detour to get to Thailand.

I used to see the QF flight numbers on EK metal ex UK a lot in searches for BKK when EK operated EK418/419 which was DXB-BKK-SYD-AKL/CHC rtn (the New Zealand destination changed over the years). Since the removal of that route I've seen them much less, but Expedia shows at least EK384 and EK372 available with QF codes, although prices were ridiculous, so something might be possible.

Incidentally, I just had a QF coded EK option come up for Dammam to Dubai as part of a Cathay Pacific itinerary.
DMM-DXB-HKG-AKL and return was about 16,000 AED
DXB-HKG-AKL and return: 5000 AED
Pricey for a 1.5 hour flight!
