    Earning Points/Status Credits Question

    Welcome stevier95 - check the class of airfare that you are booking, not all classes with EY earn points and status credits. If its a class that earns points and status credits then you will earn them as 2 separate flights.... SYD-AUH and then AUH-ATH. Hope this helps.
