Status Credits on Air NZ

[Mac502]

I was switched from a works deluxe that was definitely in an earning class to premium economy A which doesn't so this hardly seems fair.

I notice from the Velocity website that discount economy classes V, W, T, L and G on NZ domestic now earn VA points (0.25 points per mile) and status credits, from 1 September 2015.

I'm flying NZ domestic next week, crediting to VA... unfortunately I booked in fare class X.

I'm assuming this is in response to QFF points being earned on JQ domestic flights in NZ.

That's good! Still no change on the status credit page that has Long Haul PE only, not Trans Tasman

Hopefully it'll be updated soon!

Great news
Do a few NZ Dom sectors as they are much better than JQ.

A week too late for me - just booked a swag (*well 18 or so) of JQ domestic flights precisely because of the lack of earn on VA. But great news.... isn't competition great

But try to find a Grab a seat fare in those earn capable classes.
If 98% of NZdom flights are still in S class, we are no better in the SC on NZ stakes.

I recently booked CHC-AKL in L for about $125

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

I think I paid about that, maybe a bit more, AKL - CHC in Jun 14, and even in the top one under Grab a seat, it still gave me S. A lot of test bookings these days all give S class.
Lucky you got L.

(Air) NZ website has been "refreshed" so (at first glance), now its harder/impossible to find class of travel before getting into the actual providing details stage part of the website.
Now it has a black strip up the top of the page.
Pity.
Wonder if I go and add my details if it will show class of travel then.
Edit: pick your fare, enter details, and then in the black bar, a little blue arrow appears, use the mouse to drop it, and it then show class of travel.

 

[bullerdude]

I find it actually easier to get the fare class now - it's in the main summary.



I wish it was this easy and clear on the VA website.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

So, actually, a person does not have to enter pax details!
Sorry, thought had to do it to get further to see class of travel.
I prefer the old way.
Ok, at least we know we don't have to enter pax details.
