Some unofficial information here--> https://www.ausbt.com.au/virgin-aust...ckland-flights
Qantas and Air New Zealand business class passengers and top-tier frequent flyers will enjoy reciprocal airport lounge access, while travellers will also be able to earn points and status credits in each airline's respective loyalty program on flights booked under the appropriate codeshare.
But is unusual nothing official. Some people will be booking 3 months out and for a small minority of passengers ( including some FTers) ff earning will be of interest. Most airline passenger have little interest in ffp's. We on FT are part of the small minority.
