Damn this has just arrived at my work: All-of-Government (AoG) contract for air travel.
My workplace (a university) is required to participate.
The implications:
* Status credit earned and retained by passenger
* NO mileage credit
Restricted range of preferred airlines -
* National: AirNZ
* Trans Tasman: AirNZ, Qantas, Emirates
* International: AirNZ, Qantas, Emirates, Lufthansa/Swiss, Singapore
Strategies for getting around these criteria are required!
