Awards on Emirates and Qantas between Australia and NZ?
Hi everyone
I've looked into OnePass program info and I'm still unsure about whether I can redeem OnePass miles on the Trans-Tasman (between Australia and New Zealand) on CO's partners, Emirates and Qantas:
1. Can I use 25k/40k CO miles on a EK Y/J ticket (eg AKL-SYD)? The way I see it, according to the redemption table, it should be ok. But the interactive table doesn't list EK as a partner airline. So can CO miles be used on intra-Asia (eg HKG-BKK) and trans-Tasman routes?
I would LOVE to burn 40K CO miles for a AKL-SYD J seat on EK's A380!!
2. Can CO miles be used solely for a trans-Tasman ticket on QF WITHOUT a conjunction to a US/Canada-Australia award? Apparently not, according to the table, which lists Australia-NZ as a "stopover" award. Just want to get a second opinion/confirmation here on FT
Has anyone redeemed CO miles on non-ex US Emirates tickets? I would like to hear your experiences.
Cheers
