Rubbish. The lowest fares earn no miles. But you can pay a little more and get miles. On the Air NZ website you can easily select mileage earning fares by choosing flexi saver of fully flexi fare categories, instead of smart saver. Alternatively, if booking on another site you need to avoid fare codes LGSK.
