For Oneworld Emerald status holders who plan to credit to other airlines: would you recommend leaving your Emerald granting FF number on your reservation until after you clear security and then changing it to the airline you wish to credit to at the gate /in the lounge?
Or is it easier to add your non-Emerald FF number prior to arriving at the airport and then rely on your Emerald status granting FF card for priority security, lounge access, early boarding, etc.?
If it makes any difference I'm crediting to Alaska (as I'm sure many others are).

As long as you keep your Emerald status card handy I'm not seeing a reason not to add your AS # well prior to day of departure. Getting the sense that just adding / keeping your AS # on there will result in more consistent crediting too.

Can anyone comment on how long Qantas flights usually take to post when credited to Alaska? Is there a generally accepted period of time for this process after which, if no points have posted, emailing Alaska becomes prudent?

Also, you are talking about Qantas metal, correct?

Has anyone with an overnight connection in AKL successfully accessed the Qantas lounge the evening prior to their ongoing flight?
The QF staff today seemed completely bewildered that anyone would even ask for lounge access the day prior to their ongoing flight - do they have a habit of ignoring Oneworld elite lounge access policies or are they just as confused about Oneworld lounge access down under as they are at their US gateways?

About to fly this next week. A little salty Qantas is trying to charge me a total of $360(AUD) to pick seats for my party of four.
Isn't that kind of a scam? I'm going to wait until check in and hope we get something reasonable on the SFO-SYD leg

I've never had to pay to pick seats on Qantas. I've also always picked them immediately after ticketing. Try again?

I'm flying this VERY soon. I have zero status with QF, AA, or AS. The tickets are booked on QF stock and the flights have QF metal SFO-SYD-AKL; AA metal AKL-LAX; VX metal LAX-SFO.
How exactly do these credit to QF, AA and AS? I'm trying to figure out which of my n
-status accounts to credit to.

so it appears I'm booked into "O" like every
ne else and earn 25% / 50% on AA and 100% on AS ... it appears that QF earns 100% but I'm not sure.

Tomorrow night!!!
Yes I have - and I saw all sorts of things discussed and stated but nothing very conclusive. In particular, what does AA credit for QF ticketed QF metal vs QF ticketed AA metal?
