I understand how I can transfer miles into Asia Miles and use it on Cathay, but not on how to use them for their partner, Air NZ.
Again, your patience and help are always appreciated.
Cheers,
If you have miles in Asia Miles, you simply redeem those miles on either Cathay, or any of Cathay's airline partners. Whether you can redeem Asia Miles for Air New Zealand award flights directly on the Asia Miles website, or whether a call to Asia Miles is required, is something I do not know.
Does Asia miles offer cheaper redemptions than Aeroplan for a U.S.-New Zealand award on Air New Zealand? Be sure to consider not only the number of miles required, but also carrier surcharges, if any.
