QP invitations on codeshare flights

[N860CR]

I'm booked on the QF codeshare of Air Pacific 910 from SYD-NAN and I'm one short on access for someone to the QP.

I have an invitation from a silver pack which I can use, but is it going to be a problem that I'm on the codeshare and not a QF metal? I'd hate for one of us to be rejected!

My understanding is that this is fine on the QF codeshare, but not on the FJ code (Assuming you're in Y).

Excellent thanks, I missed that.

2 in Y and 2 in J, unfortunatley the two without any status are down the back so that's where I fall one short!

Anyone have recent experience with this? Just noticed that the passes now say "Must be travelling on a Qantas or Jetstar flight" not just QF flight number.

Interestingly, I didn't know that pax travelling in Business Class are entitled to a guest regardless of their status on QF operated flights. Was going to abandon someone in the BNE domestic terminal until I saw that! Shame the same doesn't apply for codeshares.

Mmm. I had the idea that 'flight', at least in this context, means flight number. So, QFxx_ to NAN would, I'm pretty sure, still be a QF flight. I'm assuming here that you don't have a ticket with an FJxx_ number.

If might. Did you say your J passengers also had status? If they do then maybe this will apply:

Gold
Next onward flight that day must be a Qantas or Jetstar Airlines[SUP]+[/SUP] flight number or a oneworld operated and marketed flight[SUP]#[/SUP].
One guest allowed and must be travelling with the member.

Platinum
Next onward flight must be on a Qantas, Jetstar Airlines[SUP]+[/SUP] or oneworld flight number.#
One guest allowed and must be travelling with the member.


So long as you have a QFxx_ ticketed number I think you'll be ok.

The latter was in regards to accesss to the domestic J lounges on the domestic leg out of Brisbane (to SYD). I was expecting to have to leave one outside as of the two J pax, only myself has status. However, something I didn't notice under access for business class customers in domestic business:

Next onward flight that day must be on a Qantas marketed and operated flight.
One guest permitted if also travelling on a Qantas marketed and operated flight[SUP]^[/SUP].

I had always thought that just travelling without status on a domestic ticket didn't give any guest allowances.

For the Intl J in SYD though, we are all booked on the QFxx_ however the rules state:

Allow access if connecting to or from a Qantas international flight on the same day.
One guest permitted if travelling onwards on a Qantas operated and marketed flight[SUP]^[/SUP].

So given it is QF marketed but not operated, I'll have to cross my fingers on the guest pass!

The QF flight number will suffice.

It's like when a WP travels to NAN on a FJ flight number and metal out of SYD - no First lounge access. But if on the QF flight number on that same FJ metal flight then no problemo.
