QF LAN and QR
Just confusing myself over lounge access. I notice LAN has better accrual rates to QR than QF so if I buy LAN AKL-SYD route and want to accrue to QR, can I still access a QF lounge? or only if bought via the QF website?
I thought a QF ticket number would then accrue to QR at QF rates even if flying LAN - or would they go by the operating carrier? Operating carrier would be LAN either way. Have zero status on LAN or QR |
If booked in business or 1st class, since LA is a OW carrier, you could use the Qantas lounge
How credit to QR works would be best asked in the QR forum, though would expect that QR works the same as various other OW schemes in that the flight number determines how credit is earned |
OP shows WP status which means F lounge access when flying Y on LAN, doesn't matter what FF number is on the BP. Pretty clear and simple rules for QF lounge access, just have to be flying Oneworld, hopefully that clears up the confusion. Doesn't matter who issues ticket or where FF points are credited.

Qantas have a rule that a QFF elite accessing QF operated lounges using Qantas status before QF/Jetstar/EK flights that the elite need to be crediting the travel to Qantas Frequent Flyer.
Since you are on LA then that might not apply. |
Is this a new rule? In the past I've often used QF lounges on QF flights without having QFF credit for that flight. Definitely dozens of times and never recall any issue. But not in the past year, QF is good at introducing bizarre rules.

Have zero status on LAN or QR In Oneworld the marketing carrier (flight number) determines earning, if an ellgable flight From http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...-t-expire.html wiki Qatar Privilege 3 years (hard) Q miles are valid for a minimum period of 3 years & will expire twice a year.

Are you able to share whether this "rule" is a written one and publicly advised on the QF web site?
Holding QF status is all that is required to use Qantas Lounges Accessing EK lounges should also not have this issue, but in the past have seen this issue with accessing EK lounges before EK flights |
Some posters on AFF had this experience, I can't find the thread now though. I'm not sure if it was a local front desk interpretation or one of those internal memos that QF sometimes send around... I guess YMMV :)

Lounge Locations | New Zealand | Auckland International Airport | International First | Qantas.com Lounge Access and Eligibility Eligible Class of Travel Eligible Qantas Members Platinum Frequent Flyer Next onward flight must be on a Qantas^, Emirates^, Jetstar Airlines+ or oneworld operated and marketed flight. # One guest allowed and must be travelling with the member on the same flight. Eligible oneworld Status i.e. To be using Qantas FF Platinum status to enter this Lounge before a QF/EK flight the QF Platinum member is supposed be crediting the travel to QF. n.b. There is no such caveat when traveling oneworld (other than QF) so the OP as a QF WP can Access the First Lounge before a LA flight while crediting to QR. |
Usual fine grammar in QF (and Oneworld) rules; they love to make it ambiguous or even wrong. I'd love to see QF try to define what "membership tier for your next onward flight" means, at face value it is the tier you have at the time that flight is taken and nothing to do with crediting options.
