China Eastern QF status still active?
I am flying on China Eastern this week Shanghai-Sydney in Premium Economy. According to the QF website, there should be status recognition and ability to earn miles (not status points). QF Plat, no status on Skyteam.

However, elsewhere I have read that the partnership is ended, yet its still live on QF site.
Does anyone know whether I should confidently rock up to premium check in with my QF status tomorrow and expect lounge or not?

According to https://www.qantas.com/au/en/qantas-...igibility.html and https://www.qantas.com/au/en/qantas-...a-eastern.html , you should be able to get lounge access and priority check in; these pages are still linked to

Update, it was no problem at all, they recognised status at check in and could use both the lounge indicated on the QF website and the much more convenient one for my flight in the satellite terminal which is quite far from the main one (you take a train).
While the MU lounges are nothing special and the food is quite average, its far better than the dire terminals.
