QF flight (BA coded) and status credits
My first post...
I'm a QFF Silver flying Premium Economy to Australia from LHR. I will be flying on QF metal (with a BA code - the flight was a real bargain!). Will the QFF system recognise this flight in order to retain status or will it treat it like just another One World flight.
Also, I have a voucher to use the Qantas Club - will I be able to use this on a BA coded QF flight at Sydney airport?
Thanks!

If it has a QF flight number, then it is a Qantas flight as far as any miles ,status credit, count towards 4 required for renewal requirements go
I would expect that you would be able to use the Qantas CLub lounge access card too

Thanks Dave...
It is a BA code on a QF flight
the difference between the BA fare and QF fare was 700 (!!!) during the BA sale.
I prefer QF premium economy product to BA, so made the decision to buy a BA codeshare flight on QF plane...

Since it's on the "Kangaroo" route you will earn QFF points / SC's as if you were travelling on a Qantas Flight number on flights BA coded flights between MEL/SYD and LHR. However, as far of status goes, this will not count as one of your four eligibale flights on QF/JQ.
If you are travelling on a BA coded flight (qantas netal) between, say, MEL and SYD, you will earn mile at 25% with a minimum earn of 125. SC's will be as for Qantas

It will not give you a 'Mr Squiggle' to go towards your 4 QF sectors a year.
You will get QFF Points and Status Credits though.

Thanks... this is from the terms and condition section of the QFF legal stuff:
"20.1.5 The travel required in each Membership Year to attain or retain Silver, Gold or Platinum status level must include a minimum of four Eligible Flight Segments where Qantas, QantasLink or a Jetstar Airline is the Marketing Carrier"
Does this mean on the 'Kangaroo' route it doesn't matter - as BA/QF have the joint service agreement thing?

The JSA does not apply in this respect.
Since you are on a BA flight number, it does not satisfy that requirement.

I too looked on the BA website last week and noticed big savings on SYD-LHR flights (on QF metal). Pays to look around l guess.
