Oops, right, 100% + 75%, per

I was confused by the mileage calculator at
http://www.skywards.com/Mileage_Calculator.aspx, which tells me AKL-DOH in Business on a Flex Fare only earns 28,000 miles for non-elite members. But if there were a nonstop AKL-DOH, it would be just over 18000 miles, and 28k/18k = 1.56. Tricky!
You also get a 3,500 mile bonus if you open your Emirates frequent flyer account and fly in Business within 6 months of opening (
