    Turkish Airlines with Qantas Leg

    Not sure but I ended up getting an SQ leg and that has a TK codeshare number. I dont think QF metal/TK number woukd credit anywhere except TK (and Im not 100% sure of that)

    Alaska would be even better given status earning for redemptions (not that I'd expect it to happen with no Aus flights)
