Air France - QANTAS resumes codeshare partnership from July 2018
So more options to Paris and can avoid the sand pit. QF get pax on their own aircraft for part of the route, instead of all on EK.

Just done a dummy Y booking for Sep, the QF Codeshares on EK are still significantly cheaper than either the QF/BA or QF/AF options provided for the same day.
I note that AF Lounge access is provided at CDG and SIN, has anyone seen whether other status benefits are supposedly provided: Check-in, PB and Baggage Allowances?

Air France eligible customers(3) will also be able to access Qantas lounges in Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia, as well as Qantas eligible customers to Air France lounges in Paris, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Not sure if this means you get to choose in each of the ports or whether you need to go to the one youre directed to.

It is about time there was an outlet for Europe codsharing QF

QF have UK codeshares with BA, but they cannot be booked as standalone flights.
Need to be a tag on to a long haul or specific destination like Paris from Oz. But rules do vary a little.
With codeshare normal practise is only some nominated flights as codeshares and not all flights of that airline
So you will not be able to get QF SC's on an Eu short haul route.
As you other posts, getting QF SC's can be hard for Eu/UK resident who do not travel to Au-NZ or in Asia (for Jetstar SC'S) or other QF long haul routes.
Edit: sample Eu QF codeshare

I don't think there are any plans (and no routes cited here https://www.routesonline.com/news/38...rom-july-2018/ ) for QF codeshares on AF intra-EU ... ?

QF continuing to move away from Oneworld & EK.
Other airlines are also doing more partnerships outside of the 3 big alliances

Earning Qantas Points on Air France, KLM
Until now, Qantas Frequent Flyer members could only earn Qantas Points with Air France and KLM when travelling on a Qantas (QF) codeshare flight number.
While that’s still possible, travellers can also now earn Qantas Points – but not status credits – on all paid fare types on all Air France and KLM flights globally, being those with AF and KL flight numbers. The number of points earned will depend on the type of fare purchased and the distance of the flight.
