Qatar qsuite booking - who to credit?

[Newbie123]

Hi all

We have booked return flights to Europe on QR in September flying business. The flights from BNE to DHA are operated by Virgin but booked direct with Qatar. Our flight from London to DHA is operated by BA. We are QFF plat and gold and unsure what program to credit against these flights. We don't have status with VA. Any guidance as to best program to benefit from the bookings would be great!
Thanks

So BNE-DOH with QR flight number on VA operated aircraft (but operated by QR as a wet lease for VA)
Then DOH-LHR QR flight number BA operated

As VA is not a Oneworld airline will not credit to QF.

Qantas Points and Status Credits are earned on all eligible booking classes, except on Qatar Airways codeshare Flights operated by an airline other than Qantas or a oneworld member airline.
* Effective for travel on and from 1 October 2021, P class will earn at the Business Frequent Flyer Earn Category.

See our points calculator for the easiest way to find out how many Qantas Points and Status Credits you'll earn, or visit the partner airline tables.

Most (all?) OW airlines have the same restriction on operating airline.
As an example BA used to allow QF marketed EK operated but that was changed some months ago.

Suspect BNE -DOH will only credit to VA or Qatar ffp
