Booking one way flights with British Airways from London to Perth? As BA is a O W partner I could code share & can I earn QFF points?

[PeterD69]

I wish to pay cash for flights (not points).
I would like to know how I can book one way flights from London TO Perth via British Airways – being a code share partner with Qantas?
Am I correct in thinking that I will earn Qantas points on this type of booking?

Looking forward to any possible guidance on the validity of my question and
also how to do the booking so I can earn QFF points & not BA points.

Hi Peter, welcome to AFF.

British Airways doesn't codeshare with Qantas on the non-stop LHR-PER flight, but you could book British Airways to Singapore and then Singapore-Perth on a BA codeshare operated by Qantas, if you wanted to.

The BA website mainly offers options on Qatar Airways though, as BA codeshares from London to Perth.

You could earn Qantas points regardless of whether you're booked on a BA or QF code, as long as you've booked an eligible fare class:

That said, if you want to earn Qantas points, I'm not sure why you want to book via British Airways? Why not just book direct with Qantas?

To me you are over thinking this and making it complicated. (By mentioning code shares).
Why book via BA? Do you have a BA credit? Do you have a BAEC ff account?

Can earn points/avios on any eligible flight. A native flight or codeshare. In Oneworld the marketing flight (flight number) determines earnings. The operating flight needs to be an eligible flight. All OW Oneworld operated flights will be classed as eligible. With revenue based ffp's determining earning can be complicated. Not all flights earn points/avios. Some low cost flights can earn nothing.
If you enter your QF freq flyer number in the reservation you will earn QF points, according to the QF t&c's.
If you enter your BA freq flyer number in the reservation you will earn BA avios, according to the BAEC t&c's.
Could be QF, BA and/or QR Qatar flight

Also be aware that paid one way flights can be almost much as a return flight. Good luck

You’ll also have more luck using your QC membership for lounge assess in LHR (and SIN - if you ended up going that way on QF).

Nothing to add other than a very warm welcome aboard AFF @PeterD69

Mattg, I have discovered that one way from UK to Perth flights are cheaper with BA than with Qantas...

Nothing surprising about that.
What route - airlines are you looking at booking?

Mwenenzi, Heathrow direct to Perth with BA OR Heathrow to Singapore then codeshare with Malasian to Perth. Oct 2025.

BA do not operate LHR PER direct. QR Qatar LHR-DOH-PER (direct?) or codeshare on QF Qantas (non stop)?
MH do not operate SIN PER. MH codeshare on QF operated? Or via KUL?

Look the listing for airlines~routes

I am intrigued. I can't find any tickets with BA to Perth using ba.com or google flights but only checked a few different dates
Incidentally I did find a combination in business one-way using Oman and Malaysian for $2777 in March which looks a bit of a bargain (many MH flights don't earn many QF points but I'd not worry too much with that fare)
