Hi all,
Thanks for your help!
I am currently Gold QFF, hoping to get Platinum this year with the DSC promotion.

Last day of membership is 30th April.

I fly J from Tokyo-Syd dep 20:00 on 30th April, landing in Syd on 1st May.

My question is - will this be credited to the 30th April, or the 1st May? If it is the latter I will fail to make Platinum…

Thanks in advance!
 
It will credit with an effective date of 30/04. QF flights usually credit in flight, so you may be Platinum as you land (but if you need the DSC, it will take another day or two).

Oh great, thanks! Yes also relying on DSC but not worried about that as not flying again for a month afterwards. Was just concerned what date the SC would be credited to as I’ve never flown across my anniversary before!
 
Similar problem, slightly different.
Last day of membership 30 April.
Flying QF ticket on Emirates metal.

Depart FRA 30 April DXB QF 8044 9.40am,arr 7.00pm (I assume that credits to old year)

then QF 8416 DBX-SYD 9.30pm(still 30 April DBX time), arr 10.30pm 1 May.

Does this credit to old year, departing 30 April DBX time but actually 1 May SYD time?)

I assume it would credit to to the old year (departing 30 April local time).

However there is a later in the day combination of flights
FRA-DXB QF8048 9.20 pm April 30, arr. DXB 6.45am May 1 (so credits to old year?)
DXB-SYD QF8412 10.15am May 1 arr SYD 7.00am May 2 (so credits to new year?)

If so later might be useful if already requalified from first FRA-DBX leg??

I am assuming it is considered as two flights, as has 2 different flight numbers, as opposed to say QF2 (LHR-SIN-SYD)?

Any thoughts appreciated

Yes, it's the local date of the departure location, so will still count. Arrival time/date irrelevant. Your second example will be split over the two membership years.

Single flight number will only appear once from the initial departure. Different flight numbers will always appear separately.
