QFF Points, Bonuses & SCs on Australian Airlines
I know, I know! Generally you don't get QFF points for Australian Airlines.
How about those with QF flight numbers?
I used the points calculator of the website to see what AKL-SYD-KIX would get me. The result was QFF points+Status Bonus+SCs.
However, if I entered AKL-SYD-CNS-KIX as the routing would essentially be, the calculator tells me that CNS-KIX is with Australian Airlines and therefore no QFFpoints or SCs.
So, pray what is the reality?

It appears that, unbeknownst to it, the calculator may have been speaking the truth after all - I had been investigating the AKL-SYD-KIKX intinerary for travel in Sep 2006!
(Of course, the answer remains incorrect should SYD-KIX travel be on Japan Air Lines ... no QFFpoints there either!)

Question
What happens if I have an Australian Airlines flight booked for after 30 June 2006?
Answer
If you have a paid or Award flight booking with Australian Airlines for after 30 June 2006, your booking is currently being updated to reflect the carrier change from Australian Airlines to Qantas. We do not anticipate any significant changes to schedule but once this has been done a Qantas staff member will contact you regarding the change and to answer any questions you may have.
If you are a Frequent Flyer you will earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points on these flights subject to the Qantas Frequent Flyer terms and conditions.
