It pays off, if a customer evaluates his travel plans. Looking at Airpoints’ zones, for an European based traveller Airpoints may offer valuable opportunities if he credits short and redeem long intercontinental flights, e.g.:
- 1 ½ round trips NCE-ZRH-CAI-ZRH-NCE in paid Biz cover one round trip ZRH-MCT-ZRH in Coach (M&M: 3 ¼ round trips).
- 5 ½ round trips NCE-ZRH-CAI-ZRH-NCE in paid Biz cover one round trip ZRH-JNB-ZRH in Biz (M&M: 7 round trips).
- 8 ¾ round trips NCE-ZRH-CAI-ZRH-NCE in paid Biz cover one round trip ZRH-SCL-ZRH in First (M&M: 14 ¼ round trips).
