EK/QF codeshares to/from DXB
 
I've looked at both airlines booking sites but they don't seem to give much information easily (unless I can't read the codes properly) but can anyone tell me if there are QF codeshare flights (on EK metal) from DXB to any of the following cities:
SIN, CDG, Cologne, Munich, Zurich, Prague, HKG.

If you use the QF booking page, it refers you to a "consultant" when you try and make a booking which includes a sector to/from those cities so I'm assuming the answer is no.

The EK webpage doesn't seem to give much in the way of codeshare or ends up charging an exorbitant price or it gives an error message. I'm talking cattle class here.

If I understand correctly, if such flights exist as EK only (and I'm sure they do) then on a QF ticket I would not be eligible for SC or FF on EK only flight numbers. Can anyone confirm this please?

Thanks for any comments.

If you book the flights with an EK code you won't get any SCs.

Some codeshare flights can only be booked in conjunction with other flights, so they are not bookable alone.

Some codeshare flights can be booked alone, but only in the very flexible and expensive booking classes.

You may ask a travel agent about your specific route.

If you as a QFF fly on EK metal, with an EK flight number, you dont earn SC, but you do earn QFF points.

Thanks for your answers folks - It seems much as I'd suspected. Very much appreciated.

Answering the OP's question, YES, there are QF coded flights on EK metal at least to SIN from DXB. This was evident from a quick search on Expert Flyer. I didn't check the other cities - but the EF search will reveal all.

Agree with everything above.
This site will be useful.

For flights to Europe
if EK fly to a city, you will be able to book it from the QF website. Provided as was said it is in conjunction with a flight from Australia to DXB. If it is a codeshare, you get points and SCs (eg CDG) if not, you only get points (eg VIE).

There are some limited QF codeshares out of Asia, and priced the same as the EK code, particularly from SIN

eg. looking SIN-DXB-DUB return in November
Either QF codeshare or EK pricing as S$7566 as Business Saver


But from BKK no codeshare - although you can get codeshare at DXB to say FRA, LHR (albeit not to DUB

No codeshares offered at all from KUL, CMB etc.
which is a pain if after QF SCs
