Earning status credits with Qantas Points Club

That is correct, though practically speaking I don't think any award flights get booked with a QF number if it's not QF metal, barring the AY wet leases.

and some other niche flights (SB is one).

 

[sudoer]

any award flight (both Classic and Classic Plus) with a QF flight number, whether it's Qantas metal or not

Yes, but there are a very limited number of non-Qantas metal QF coded awards out there.

and even if booked with another user's QF points or via another FFP's miles?

Yes.

Trial and error at the moment but could be an interesting article for the @AFF Editor to consider exploring?

I believe Aircalin between Australia and Noumea, and Air Tahiti Nui on the AKL-PPT & PPT-LAX routes are the only ones.

Mentioned upthread and on another recent thread, there apparently are some LA flights that book as QF code.

Similarly, several have reported FJ but I’ve never seen that (not that I’ve checked every flight in every day available…).

The QF PC/PC+ earn table has some interesting entries and wording eg “including intra-USA and intra-Japan”…

But the entry for NZ - SCL supports the comment relating to LA? As well as other specific mention of Tahiti.

So SYD-AKL-PPT-LAX for 15+18+22=55SC for a PC Y reward fare?

Though the few checks on this i just tried wouldn't search rewards PPT-LAX? Looks an interesting DSC adventure to me, especially out of Canberra

Works for me on the regular search but yeah, multi-city doesn’t like PPT in some scenarios.

I just had a similar problem yesterday trying to get a CX flight out PNH to HKG. I could see award seats HKG-PNH (return) but had to call to get one way PNH-HKG and combined with an existing HKG-SYD CR booking (managed to get the change and booking fee waived because I could do it online).
