•
If you purchase a ticket on a flight that is marketed by Air New Zealand but operated by another airline (known as a code-share flight), the operating airline determines how many miles you earn for your flight.
•
Note that the booking class that appears on your ticket may differ from the booking class that the operating airline uses to determine flight miles earned.
