SYD - DXB earn was the same as MEL - DXB
As far as I know NZ is the only airline that runs with this "journey-based crediting" system. Very unfair especially for regional fliers who are paying top dollars to fly from one region to another via a major hub. They only get AP and SP as if it's only one leg.
