Can I accrue US Air frequent flyer points if I travel economy on Air New Zealand? ?

Question

The Air New Zealand web site seems to say that they don't give their Airpoints for economy flights so I am wondering if I won't get points using my US Air card either.

Answer 1

Hi,

I have found this site to be useful. Check it out.

Answer 2

According to the page linked below (which was found, of all places, on the US Airways website), Air New Zealand flights in economy/coach only earn US Airways miles in certain fare classes.  You'll definitely want to check and see whether the fare class you've purchased (the first letter of the fare code issued to that ticket) matches what is on the list.
