Interestingly.
Air New Zealand will be introducing a new Airpoints earning structure later this year which will allow Airpoints members to earn Airpoints Dollars on all The Works and Works Deluxe products including on Smart Saver fares.
As an interim offer for new bookings for travel on trans-Tasman flights from August, 5 Airpoints Dollars will be earned on any The Works Smart Saver fares and 10 Airpoints Dollars will be earned on Works Deluxe Smart Saver fares.
Interesting Airpoints members must purchase a NZ code fare for status earn, but Velocity fares earn status with DJ or NZ code - Star Alliance status rule driven?
A few Pacific Islands exceptions, suspect this is competition authority driven.
