Status Points within International Zone
Hi all,
I am about to book a flight with Swiss Air LHR-ZRH / ZRH-IST on the same ticket, changing planes in Zurich. There are two separate flight numbers.
Does anyone know if Air NZ treats these as two separate flights when crediting status points, with both legs under 2000km, or as one flight (i.e. LHR-IST) which is over 2000km.
This is all within one international zone.
Thanks heaps for any knowledge or advice!

I fly intra-Europe with Swiss via Zurich regularly, and it's always credited as two separate flights. Other huge benefit of Swiss - it seems that even their dirt cheap discount economy tickets still earn APs. I really like this airline.
