Default MH Joining OW

Sorry if someone has already posted this ( but I can't see an existing thread ). It is being widely reported that Oneworld are going to announce today that MH will be a future member.

This would open up a lot more options for QF frequent flyers and give OW a much needed presence in Southeast Asia.

The door closed for DJ and MH, but I think they did much better snaring SQ!

Pretty happy to see Malaysia Airlines finally get into an alliance, I found it odd they weren't aligned much sooner. Also good to see Oneworld expand

Default Good news

From my perspective (the back seat paying passenger), this is good news. I've never been able to achieve any redemption of MH Enrich awards and points always expire well before I have enough to do anything meaningful with them. Too many discounted fares I guess.

With them joining OW, I can at least accrue status credits and points with QF.

MH have a good product and the onboard service has always been outstanding. Their fares are also generally very good, giving us (particularly on the west coast) a lower priced OW option to both Europe and the US (some fares from $5k) Even a $2600 business class fare (all inclusive return) to North Asia is very good. That's cheaper than east-west coast return on QF domestic.
