The QF website is quite clear, ie if separate tickets QF-Oneworld and one of the is a redemption/award ticket, baggage will be checked through to the final destination (relevant parts below are in bold).

You should have no problem booking QF flight numbers on EK metal between Dubai and London: below is an Amadeus screenshot for those flights for eg 30 January:AMADEUS AVAILABILITY - AN ** LON LONDON.GB 7 TH 30JAN 0000 1EK:QF8011 F4 A4 J7 C7 D7 I7 Y9 /DXB 3 LGW N 0250 0640 E...

Minimum connecting time in Helsinki is 35 minutes - I have done it on multiple occasions in less than that (as the incoming flight was delayed) and usually Finnair waits some time for late passengers to arrive. It's an easy airport for transfers (as mspcooper has pointed out) and there is no fur...

You should be able to do this, e.g.:34 WE 15JAN 0000 1EK:QF8414 F4 A4 J7 C7 D7 I7 Y9 /DXB 3 SYD 1 0200 2230 E0/388 13:30 B9 H9 K9 M9 2EK:QF8412 F4 A4 J7 C7 D7 Y9 B9 /DXB 3 SYD 1 1015 0700+1E0/388 13:45 H9 K9 3EK:QF8416 F4 A4 J7 C7 D7 Y9 B9 /...

Transitted in early November (as well as earlier this year) and noticed that it depends how many flights arrive at the same time. In November lots of aircraft arrived concurrently and the security lines were a complete circus as the priority lines were not properly enforced (in other words: all ...

I don't know why it does not show up on the QF website. In Amadeus GDS is does show, e.g. for 13 December via Dubai on codeshare with EK:EK:QF8413 F4 A4 J7 C7 D7 Y9 B9 /SYD 1 DXB 3 2145 0515 1E0/388 H9 K9 M9 L9 EK:QF8185 F4 A4 J7 C7 D7 Y9 B9 /DXB 3 BCN 1 0815 1 1250 1E0/388 ...

Depends where in the US you fly on to: the following are the minimum connecting times at LAX from VA to DL (according to Amadeus GDS). The majority seems to be a minimum connecting time of 1 hour 50 minutes, i.e. you would be just within minimum connecting times.Hope this helps.LAX VA TO DL ...

Did you book through a travel agent? If yes, the agent can put in a so-called IATA-BSP downgrade refund application which the airline MUST deal and provide you with a partial refund.

The following from the Amadeus timetable might help:BNE-DXBTN24MARBNEDXB ** AMADEUS TIMETABLE - TN ** DXB DUBAI.AE 24MAR18 31MAR18 1 EK 435 D BNE I DXB 3 2030 0530+1 0 25MAR18 77W 15:00 2 EK 435 6 BNE I DXB 3 2045 0520+1 0 04NOV17 24MAR18 388 ...

I changed over to the AY program couple of years ago and never regretted it: Platinum in one year (two business return trip to Europe) and no problem to get into QF F lounge with my QF Plat card while collecting points for AY (once I had to change my FF number to QF at the reception but could the...

If you have a booking on points and a connecting flight on a commercial ticket, it should be possible to check your baggage through, as this is one of the exceptions from not interlining baggage on two different PNRs.  I (Platinum status) recently had a major disagreement over this with QF (...

Had a similar experience: PER-DXB-PER on EK/QF: $1763.   PER-DXB-MUC-TXL-MUC-DXB-PER: $1901 on EK/QF (i.e. only about $140 more for Dubai-Berlin-Dubai).  Amazing what competition can do!

I have just come through HKG and the walking distance depends on your arrival gate and the security screening points.  If you arrive on a 'pier' gate it is reasonably close , if you arrive on gates 1 or 15 it is about a 15 minutes walk.  We arrived at gate 28 (which is right in the midd...
