Crediting Air New Zealand flights
I've just checked and it seems our upcoming flight from CHC - SYD on Air New Zealand is booked into L class.
L class accrues no miles on Aegean, Turkish or Lufthansa!
I think Avianca Amigo will get 50% but doubt I'll be able to use the miles as it will be so little. Not sure what to do... I hate 'wasting' miles.
Partner has Amigo account for *A Gold status match so perhaps I should just open one in the meantime too (still got A3 Gold until Nov 2016).
Maybe I'll find a use for the few hundred miles

Air NZ is good for intercontinental flights, but otherwise a frustrating experience for *G. No free checked luggage even for *G, no mileage earning in run-of-the-mill booking classes.
This is why I flew Jetstar within New Zealand. Jetstar also offered an attractive "Plus Bundle" that waived any change fees (!) and also included free checked baggage, free seat reservation (I really enjoyed the view) and some funds to spend onbaord for food&drinks. It is a no-brainer. Avoid NZ unless you fly intercontinental.

NZ barely ever upgrades, unless they 100% have too.
