Hi everyone,
I'd like to leverage the Accor/Qatar partnership, which gives you a gold status if you fly on Qatar (as Accor Platinum).

However my plans are only to fly domestic at this stage. Is there a way to book a flight on VA, with a Qatar codeshare? When searching Qatar, it looks like there is no flight available, ever.

Cheers,
Antoine

Only as a tag on to a QR international flight. Not as a standalone QR marketed VA operated AU domestic flight.

One other thing to note. If you currently have another accor airline partner it takes a bit of unlink them and be eligible to link to another i believe.

(Similarly vice versa if you want to unlink QR in the future).

I unlinked QF and linked QR and I don't recall any particular difficulty in doing it - but I think there was a month to wait between them (I think to allow stays to clear to the original program). Or maybe that's what you were referring to.

Yeah sorry i didn't mean difficulty, I meant time lag.
