Well KiwiF, search as I might I can't see any fare type on my e-tickets. (Just flight numbers) The information supplied says I may need to call my travel consultant for that information and that, as you say, many fare types and discounted airfares do not accrue FF points. I'll get onto that tomorrow since I just MUST know now.
Just a bit of fyi for everyone, I was searching for best hotel deals on various different sites. I came accross what looked like a great place with reasonable prices to stay at in Midtown NY. I found it on Orbitz.com and to my frustration, they don't accept credit cards with billing addresses in Australia just at the moment. Trying to secure the accommodation via direct contact with the hotel for the same deal offered by orbitz hasn't got me far in the last day or so either, with the time zone differences and lack of email replies at the moment.
Apparently orbitz.com will be putting us aussies on their list of credit card billing addresses.... SOON!
